Often referred as the father of modern physics, he is credited with dropping two spheres of equal volume, but different mass, from the top of the Leaning Tower of Pisa to prove that all items acted upon by gravity fall at the same rate.

What is acceleration?
200
This type of energy is often referred to as motion energy.
What is kinetic energy?
300
A kickball travels 10 meters in 2 seconds. Its speed is ______________.
What is the speed of a kickball which travels 10 meters in 2 seconds?
300
3 minutes converted to the correct SI unit.
What is 180 seconds?
300
An object changing position over time, relative to a reference point.
What is motion?
300
This law states that acceleration is produced when a force acts on a mass. The greater the mass (of the object being accelerated) the greater the amount of force needed (to accelerate the object).

What are SI units?
400
The strength or energy of physical action or movement. (Mass multiplied by acceleration)
What is force?
400
An object at rest will remain at rest unless acted on by an unbalanced force. An object in motion continues in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. This law is often called "the law of inertia," and is law number ____________.
What is Newton's First Law?
400
The SI unit for force.
What are Newtons?
