100

How many of Newton's Laws have we discussed in class?

3

100

The force that slows down a moving object is called _____.

Friction
100

Newton's 1st Law of Motion states that an object in motion stays in motion OR an object ___ ____ ____ ___ ____.

at rest stays at rest

100

If a box sits motionless on the floor, it has _______ forces.

Balanced

200

This is an object's resistance to changing direction.

Inertia
200

This is the math formula for speed

Distance รท Time = Speed


200

This is an increase in an object's speed.

Acceleration

200

This law states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Newton's 3rd Law of Motion

200

For an object to move, the forces need to be _______.

Unbalanced

300

The change in position of an object due to forces

Motion

300

The speed AND direction an object is moving is called _____. 

velocity

300

This is a decrease in an object's speed.

Deceleration

300

Newton's 2nd Law of Motion states that this is needed to move an object with a larger mass.

a larger force

300
A force such as friction or air resistance that acts in the opposite direction of a moving object
resisting force
400
What is the speed AND direction an object is moving?
Velocity
400

What is 12 x 15?

180

400

What is the energy of motion?

Kinetic energy

400

This is the mathematical formula for Newton's 2nd Law of Motion that states a larger force is needed to move an object with a larger mass.

Force = mass x acceleration or F = ma

400

Warming my hands by rubbing them together is an example of this type of friction.

Sliding friction

500

An object moves because the forces are ______.

Unbalanced

500

This is the formula for Newton's 2nd Law of Motion.

Force = Mass x Acceleration

500

This type of friction is created when a moving object travels through a liquid or water.

Fluid friction

500

Which of Newton's Laws states that more force is needed to move a car than a lawn mower?

Newton's 2nd Law of Motion

500

This type of friction is created when an object moves through air or a liquid. An example would be a swimmer moving through water.
