Why Things Move
This law states: an object at rest tends to stay at rest and an object in motion tends to stay in motion
What is Newton's first law?
This law states that momentum is not created or destroyed
What is the law of conservation of momentum?
The action of friction caused by air
What is air resistance?
Motion that continues endlessly
What is perpetual motion?
He said all objects have the potential to move and inactive objects will stay still
Who is Aristotle?
This will cause an object to lose its momentum
What is friction (or force)?
The push or pull of an object
What is force?
The measure of an object's speed and direction
What is velocity?
This law states: for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction
What is Newton's third law?
The electrical attraction between particles on surfaces causes this
What is friction?
The standard metric unit for the measurement of force
What is a newton?
The property of a moving object that causes it to tend to keep moving
What is momentum?
These are the two laws of thermodynamics
What are energy cannot be created or destroyed and objects slow down or wear out?
He said each planet is held in place by the sun
Who is Sir Isaac Newton?
These are two examples of friction between a solid and fluid object
What are boats and airplanes?
The force that resists movement of an object at rest
What is static friction?
The change in an object's velocity over a period of time
What is acceleration?
This law states: an object’s ability to speed up or slow down is affected by mass and force
What is Newton's second law?
It's how energy transfers from place to place and from one form to another
What are thermodynamics?
The resistance to a change in motion
What is inertia?
The force that resists the motion of a moving object
What is kinetic friction?
