Laws
A push or a pull.
What is Force?
The distance an object travels per unit of time.
What is Speed?
The force that pulls objects toward each other.
What is Gravity?
The force of gravity on an object at the surface of a planet.
What is Weight?
The force that one surface exerts on another when the two surfaces rub against each other.
What is Friction?
The tendency of an object to resist any change in its motion.
What is Inertia?
Speed in a specific and given direction.
What is Velocity?
This law states, " if a body is at rest or moving at a constant speed in a straight line, it will remain at rest or keep moving in a straight line at constant speed unless it is acted upon by a force. "
What is Newton's First Law of Motion?
This Newton Law states, "that for every action (force) in nature there is an equal and opposite reaction."
What is Newton's Third Law?
This Newton law states, "the acceleration of an object is dependent upon two variables - the net force acting upon the object and the mass of the object."
What is Newton's Second Law of Motion?
Weight is measured by this force.
What is Gravity?
When you travel to the Moon this changes to 1/6 what it is on Earth.
What is your weight?
All matter is made from these extremely small particles.
What are Atoms?
This makes up all things that have mass and volume.
What is Matter?
The formula, F = m a, is the foundation for this Newton Law.
What is Newton's Second Law?
The amount of matter in an object.
What is it's Mass?
This is the strongest of all of the Four Fundamental Forces of Nature.
What is the Strong Force.
This Fundamental Force of Nature is responsible for the thermonuclear reaction on the Sun.
What is the Weak Force?
Forces that produce a zero net force, which does NOT change an objects motion.
What is a Balanced Force?
The result of one neutron coming near another neutron.
What is Nothing?
Forces that produce a nonzero net force, which changes an objects motion.
What is an Unbalanced Force?
The rate at which velocity changes.
What is Acceleration?
A unit of measure that equals the force required to accelerate 1 kilogram of mass at 1 meter per second per second.
What is a Newton?
This scientist is credited with the discovery of electromagnetism.
Who is Michael Faraday?
These orbiting particles that keep atoms from touching because of their negative charge.
What are Electrons?
