An object in motion stays in motion and an object at rest stays at rest unless acted upon by an outside force.

Newton's First Law

100

How fast an object is traveling

Speed

100

If you say,"A bird is going 30mi/hr west." you are stating its _______.

velocity

100

What is the formula for speed?

distance ÷ time

100

<------ <------- 28N   <------ <------- 60N

The object will move 88N to the left.

200

It takes less force to accelerate an object with less mass. 

Newton's Second Law

200

Speed of an object in a certain direction

Velocity

200
If an equal force acts on a pencil and a text books, which one will have GREATER acceleration?
Pencil
200

If I traveled 100 miles in 2 hours, what was my speed?

50 mi/hour

200

<------- 75N   150N----->

The object would move 75N to the right.

300

Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.

Newton's Third Law

300

Force that keeps things DOWN

Gravity

300
Gravity is NOT force. True or False?
False - gravity IS a force.
300

If I am slowing down in the car, is that acceleration?

YES

300

Is it easier to stop a moving object that has MORE mass or LESS mass?

It's easier to stop a moving object with LESS mass.

400

Wearing seat belts to protect passengers when a car stops quickly is an example of which law?

Newton's First Law

400

The rate at which velocity (direction or speed) changes over time

Acceleration

400
Inertia is a force. True or False.
True
400

Turning a corner is an example of acceleration. True or False

True

400

<------ 35N  ---------> 10N

Solve.

25N to the left. 

500

If I am sitting in my chair, gravity pushes down on me. What is the opposite and equal force in this scenario?

The chair pushing UP on me.

500

An objects ability to stay at rest or stay in motion.

Inertia

500
What type of force slows down a skateboarder when he puts his foot down to brake?
Friction
500

Acceleration is the rate at which inertia changes over time. True or False?

If it is false, what is the correct answer?

FALSE - Acceleration is the rate at which VELOCITY changes over time.
