Forces and Motion
This law states that an object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon.
What is Newton's First Law of Motion?
This type of force requires physical contact between two objects.
What is a contact force?
If two forces of 5 N and 3 N act in the same direction, the net force is this.
What is 8 N?
This term describes how quickly an object speeds up or slows down.
What is acceleration?
This holiday was Newton's birthday.
What was Christmas 1642?
This term describes the change in velocity of an object due to an external force.
What is acceleration?
This force opposes the motion of an object sliding over a surface.
What is friction?
When two equal forces of 10 N act in opposite directions, the net force is this.
What is 0 N?
According to Newton's second law, acceleration is directly proportional to this.
What is the net force?
What is Alchemy?
A graphical representation that shows the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration is known as this.
What is a force diagram?
Forces that act at a distance without physical contact, such as gravity, fall into this category.
What are field forces? (non-contact forces)
This is the net force acting on an object if a 15 N force pulls to the right and a 10 N force pulls to the left.
What is 5 N to the right?
If the mass of an object is doubled while the net force remains constant, the acceleration will do this.
What is decrease?
What is the Royal Mint?
According to this law, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
What is Newton's Third Law of Motion?
This type of force occurs when two objects interact and exert forces on each other.
What is an action-reaction pair?
If a 20 N force acts on a 4 kg object, the acceleration can be calculated using this formula.
What is F = ma?
The formula for calculating weight on any planet.
What is W = m*g?
The English university where Isaac Newton studied, conducted many of his early experiments, and later serve as the Lucasian Professor of Mathematics?
What is the University of Cambridge? (Trinity College)
Final Jeopordy
When a tug-of-war team pulls on a rope, this force is exerted equally along the rope in both directions according to Newton's Third Law.
What is Tension? (a type of contact force)
This is the force that acts on an object due to its mass and the acceleration due to gravity.
What is weight?
An object with a mass of 10 kg experiences a net force of 30 N. Its acceleration is this.
What is 3 m/s²?
If an object has a mass of 5 kg and accelerates at 2 m/s², the net force acting on it is this.
What is 10 N?
Sir Isaac Newton once said: "I can calculate the motion of heavenly bodies, but not this.
What is the madness of people?
