Netwon's Laws
Motion, motion, and more motion.
Acceleration by any other name...
A force is a force, of course, of course!
Gravity, oh my! Gravity!
100
The tendency of an object to resist any change in its motion.
What is Inertia?
100
When an object changes position relative to a reference point.
What is motion?
100
Includes speed and direction of an object in motion.
What is velocity?
100
The push or pull applied to an object.
What is force?
100
Gravitational force exerted on an object and measured in units called Newtons.
What is weight?
200
An object in motion tends to stay in motion until an unbalanced force acts upon it.
What is Newton's First Law?
200
The distance an object travels per unit time.
What is speed?
200
The difference between speed and velocity.
What is velocity includes direction and speed does not.
200
The friction-like force that opposes motion of objects that move through air.
What is Air Resistance?
200
Dependent upon mass and distance between objects.
What is gravity?
300
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
What is Newton's Third Law?
300
Speed at any given point in time.
What is instantaneous speed?
300
a= change in velocity (m/s)/time (s)
What is the equation for acceleration?
300
When an object moves through liquid or air.
What is Fluid Friction?
300
Motion that is parallel to the Earth's surface and which is usually acted on by inertia.
What is Horizontal Motion?
400
A net force acting on an object causes the object to accelerate in the direction of the force.
What is Newton's Second Law?
400
Distance and direction of an object's change in position from the starting point.
What is displacement?
400
When an object's speed increases or goes up.
What is Positive Acceleration?
400
When two or more forces act on an object at the same time.
What is Net Force?
400
Motion that is perpendicular to the Earth's surface and is usually acted on by gravity.
What is Vertical Motion?
500
The equation used to determine force.
What is F=ma?
500
s = d/t or v = d/t
What is average speed?
500
The rate of change in velocity, when an object changes speed, direction, or both.
What is Acceleration?
500
Microscopic bumps on surfaces that cause friction.
What are microwelds?
500
Motion that moves toward the center.
What is Centripetal Motion?
