100

A balance of all forces acting on an object

What is net force?

100

Which Law? (Just put the numbers)

Law of Inertia

Law of Acceleration

Law of Momentum

What is 1,2,3?

100

The resistance to a change in movement.

What is inertia?

100

A 7000 kg rocket is accelerating at 30 m/s2. What is the force of the thrust?

What is 210,000 Newtons?

100

The 2 factors in the universal law of gravitation are most important in determining the force between 2 objects.

What are mass and distance?

200

The net force  acting on the objects? (3 answers)

What is

A. 6N right

B. 12N right

C. 0N; does not move

200

Which Law?

F = m x a

Inertia

a = F/m

What is 2, 1, 3?

200

decreasing acceleration

What is deceleration?

200

A 1.5-kg ball is thrown at 10 m/s. What is the ball's momentum?

What is 15 kg m/s?

200

A ________ object will have more gravitational force

What is a large object with a lot of mass?

300

The 2 universal forces?

What are gravity and friction?

300

Which Law?

For every action there is equal and opposite reaction.

an object in motion wants to stay in motion; and object at rest wants to stay at rest

If you increase the force of an object the acceleration will increase; if you increase the mass, the force will need to be greater to accelerate the object

What is 3, 1, 2?

300

The measure of the gravitational force on an object

What is weight?

300

Dan pushes a 9 kg pumpkin across a balcony with a force of 10 N.  The force of friction is 1 N.  What is the acceleration of the pumpkin?

What is 1 m/s2?

300

The ____________ the distance between objects the less gravitational force.

What is greater?

400

What happens to the force if the mass increases?

What is the force needs to increase?

400

Explain what will happen based on the formulas:

F = m x a   If the mass decreases, the force will need to _________

m = F/a  If the mass decrease, the acceleration will __________

a = F/m    If the mass decreases, the acceleration will _________


What is 

decrease

increase

increase


400

The amount of matter in an object

What is mass?

400

A steel ball whose mass is 2.0 kg is rolling at a rate of 2.8 m/s.  What is its momentum?

What is 5.6 kg m/s?

400

This universal force pulls an object towards the center

What is centripetal force?

500

If I pull a rope to the left with 5 Newtons of force, my friend help pull with 5 Newtons of force, but my dad pull in the opposite direction with 8 Newtons of force, What is the net force?

What is 2 Newtons left

500

Which Law?
