Newton's Laws and Forces
The force that pulls objects towards Earth’s center.
What is gravity?
The stored energy an object can have due to its position or state.
What is potential energy?
The wave property that can be described as the “height” of the wave.
What is amplitude?
This star is at the center of our solar system.
What is the Sun?
The part of a wave that measures crest to crest.
What is wavelength?
Newton’s Law that reads “An object at rest will stay at rest and an object in motion will stay in motion, unless acted upon by an outside force"
What is Newton's First Law?
The energy of motion.
What is kinetic energy?
A type of wave that needs a medium to travel through.
What is a mechanical wave?
This galaxy contains our solar system.
What is the Milky Way?
A magician pulls a tablecloth out from under a set of dishes without moving them. This law explains why the dishes stay in the same place.
What is Newton's First Law?
The equation associated with Newton's Second Law that relates force, mass, and acceleration.
What is Force = Mass x Acceleration?
A ball sits on the edge of a cliff. A gust of wind causes it to fall. Describe this energy transformation.
What is potential energy to kinetic energy?
A higher pitched sound would have ________ compared to a lower pitched sound wave.
What is a shorter wavelength / higher frequency?

What is one day (24 hours)?
A student drops a bowling ball and a tennis ball at the same time inside a perfect system. Which hits the ground first?
They hit at the same time.
This law explains why it takes more force to push a heavier box than it does a light box.
What is Newton's Second Law?
The law that states that energy cannot be created or destroyed.
What is the Law of Conservation of Energy?
The bending of light as it passes through a new medium.
What is refraction?
This occurs when the Moon passes directly between the Earth and the Sun, blocking sunlight from reaching Earth.
What is a solar eclipse?
This explains why sound does not carry throughout space.
What is space is a vacuum and sound waves need a medium to travel through?
You trip on your skateboard and the skateboard goes backwards while you go forwards. This law explains this.
What is Newton's Third Law?
A roller coaster has ______ energy at the top and ______ energy at the bottom of the drop.
What is potential/kinetic?
A wave that vibrates perpendicularly to the direction energy travels.
What is a transverse wave?
The order of planets in increasing distance from the Sun
