First Law of Motion
Second Law of Motion
Third Law of Motion
100
This is Isaac Newton's birthday.
What is January 4, 1643?
100
He used a reflecting telescope to help deliver a lecture on this topic.
What is optics?
100
This is another name for the first law of motion.
What is Law of Inertia?
100
This is will cause an acceleration of an object's speed.
What is an unbalanced force or net acting upon the object?
100
This is the definition of Newton's third law of motion.
What is for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
200
This is the birthplace of Isaac Newton.
What is Woolsthorpe, Lincolnshire, England?
200
This is name of one of the first published pieces of work that Isaac studied in depth, in which he used a reflecting telescope to convey the themes and ideas in his paper.
What is Opticks or A Treatise of the Reflections, Refractions, Inflections, and Colours of Light?
200
Part of the First Law of motion states..."An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction.." unless this occurs.
What is acted upon by an unbalanced force?
200
This is the other factor leading to an acceleration of an object.
What is the object's mass?
200
In Newton's third law, these are the two types of forces acting on objects when the objects interact with each other.
What are action and reaction?
300
This is what Isaac Newton's mother wanted him to become.
What is a farmer like his father?
300
Newton and this man had an ongoing rivalry due to conflicting views of Newton's theories behind optics. Eventually, the same man directed Newton onto studying planetary motion.
Who is Robert Hooke, an accomplished scientist in the areas on optics?
300
This is the resistance an object has to change its state of motion, which is also a vital part of the First Law of Motion.
What is inertia?
300
In the equation, a=F/m, the m stands for this.
What is mass?
300
The size of the object equals the size of this on the object.
What is force acting on the object?
400
He convinced Isaac's mother to let him enroll in University of Cambridge's Trinity College, where he eventually obtained his master's degree.
Who is Isaac Newton's uncle?
400
This can be considered one of the greatest published works by Newton, where he stated basic laws of motion.
What is Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica?
400
Galileo found that all objects eventually come to a stop due to this force.
What is friction?
400
This is also moves in the same direction as the acceleration of an object.
What is the net force being exerted on the object?
400
A body sits on a chair, which is considered the downward force, or action. This is the opposing force, or reaction, to the body.
What is the chair exerting upward force, or a reaction?
500
This is what Isaac founded while at home from University during the Plague.
What is set the foundations for planetary motion, light and color, and the beginnings of calculus?
500
Newton published this man's works and catalogue of stars without his permission, which caused a large legal dispute, that was then ruled in his favor by court's ruling.
Who is John Flamsteed?
500
The tendency of an object to resist change in its state of motion is directly due to this.
What is its mass?
500
This is the acceleration of gravity on all objects regardless of their mass.
What is -9.8m/s/s?
500
The direction of the force on the first object is this to the direction of the force on the second object.
What is opposite?
