100

This is a "Push or pull acting on an object." 

What is a "Force?" 

100

This is Newton's 1st Law of Motion.

What is "An object at rest will remain at rest, and an object in motion will remain in motion on a straight line, unless a force acts on it." 

100

Which of Newton's Laws is shown below? Why? 

What is "Newton's 1st Law?" The stationary baseball represents Newton's 1st Law because it will not move unless a force is applied to the baseball. 

100

This force that acts at a distance will pull you toward the center of the Earth. 

What is the force of gravity? 

100

This is the larger force. 

What is Force "A"?

200

This is "a change in an objects position." 

What is "Motion?" 

200

This is Newton's 2nd Law of Motion. 

What is "The force on an object is equal to the product of the object's mass and acceleration."

200

How much force does it take to make a 25 kg object accelerate at a rate of 4 m/s2.

What is 100 N? (F=MA; 25 kg X 4 m/s2 = 100N)

200

This force that acts at a distance will attract or repel two charged bodies. 

What is the "Electrical Force?" 

200

This is the net force on the dresser. 

What is 70 N to the right?

300

This is a definition for "Inertia." 

What is "a tendency to do nothing or remain unchanged?" (Answers will vary but should be similar)

300
This Law is represented by the mathematical formula F=MA. 

What is Newton's 2nd Law? 

300

What is the mass of an object that accelerates 6 m/s2 when a 24 N force is applied? 

What is 4 kg? (M=F/A: 24N / 6m/s2 = 4 kg)

300

This is the force exerted between moving charged particles. 

What is the "Magnetic Force?" 

300

This is the Net Force on the dresser. 

What is 20 N to the right?

400

This is a definition for "Acceleration." 

What is "a change in the velocity of an object?" (Answers will vary, but should be similar)

400

This is Newton's 3rd Law of Motion. 

What is "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." 

400

Both objects accelerate at the same rate. Which one required a larger force? Why? 

What is the bowling ball required a larger force? It required a larger force because it has a larger mass. 
400

This is how Particle "B" will react to the electric field of Particle "A".

What is move away from Particle "A"? OR What is to the left? 

400

This is whether or not the cart will move. 

What is the "cart will not move because the forces are balanced?"

500

This is a definition for "Momentum." 

What is "the amount of motion an object has?" (Answers will vary, but should be similar)

500

Which of Newton's Laws is shown in the image below? 

What is Newton's 3rd Law? 

500

Which of Newton's Laws is shown in the image below? Why? 

What is Newton's 3rd Law? Because the person applies a force to the boat, and the boat applies a force to the person. 

500

This is the direction that the "Nail Head" will point when it enters the magnetic field. 

What is "it will move to point towards the "S" pole on the magnet? 

500

This is whether or not the cart will move. 

What is "The cart will move to the left, because the force in that direction is larger?"
