To tell wether an object is moving you need a ______.
Reference Point
What is the equation for calculating speed?
Speed = Distance ➗ Time
What is a force?
A push or pull
What often happens along the borders of tectonic plates?
Earthquakes
What is Newton best known for?
Sir Isaac Newton would discover the three basic laws of motion.
Are velocity and speed the same thing?
No, because velocity is speed in a given direction whilst speed is just how fast you are going.
What is the equation for calculating acceleration?
Final Velocity - Initial Velocity ➗ Time = Acceleration
What happens when two balanced forces push on an object in opposite directions?
The object does not move.
Which tectonic plate are we living in?
The Pacific Plate
What was Newton’s first law of motion?
An object at rest will stay at rest and an object moving will continue moving until being acted upon by an unbalanced force
What are the three types of acceleration?
Increasing Speed, Decreasing Speed, and Changing Direction
What equation do you use to find weight?
Mass ✖️ Acceleration due to gravity = Weight
What happens when an unbalanced force pushes an object on the opposite side of a smaller force.
ex. S ->🔳<- s
The Unbalanced Force’s side moves
Why can’t you use a reference point to see the earth moving?
It is to slow to see or feel movement
What is Newton’s second law of motion?
Force = Mass ✖️ Acceleration
The tendency of an object to resist change in its motion.
What equation do you use to find momentum?
Momentum = Mass ✖️ Velocity
What happens when to balanced forces act in opposite direction.
Nothing happens and the object stays where it is at.
What Plate is the City of Casablanca, Morocco located in?
African Plate
What is Newton’s third law of motion?
For every action there is an equal reaction
What factors do the strength of the force of friction depend on?
The types of surfaces involved and how hard the surfaces push together
What is the equation for finding newtons?
1N = 1kg ✖️ 1m/s2
How much net force was generated for scenario similar to the one in The Jedi Way for 400?
No Net Force
How far do plates move in one year?
5 cm
What is the law of Universal Gravitation?
The force of gravity acts between all objects in the universe.
