100
A force is defined as this
What is a Push or a Pull?
100
Newton's 1st Law of Motion is also called the law of this
What is Inertia?
100
Force that pulls objects towards each other
What is Gravity?
100
When your position changes based on a reference point
What is Motion?
200

Force is measured in this (units)

What is Newtons?

200

This law explains why your school books will fly forward in a car if you break suddenly

What is Newton's 1st Law?

200
The amount of matter in an object
What is Mass?
200
To solve for this you divide distance by time
What is Speed?
300
The total of all forces acting on an object
What is Net Force?
300

Pretend there is a cup on top of a table. It is not moving. 

Use Newton's 1st law to describe its motion.

What is "the cup is at rest and will stay at rest unless acted upon by an unbalanced force?"

300

The force that occurs when two surfaces rub together

What is Friction?

300
Speed plus direction
What is Velocity?
400

This type of net force will result in a change in motion (you can provide an example)

What is Non-zero Net Force? (ex. 7N to the right)

400

Describe what would happen to a paper airplane if you launched it into space where no external forces were acting on it. (no gravity or air resistance)

What is "The airplane would travel forever at a constant velocity until it encountered another force?"

400

There is a box sitting on the floor.  It is pulled 100N to the left and 100N to the right.  

What is a balanced force and the box will not move.

400
The speed you are going at a given moment in time
What is Instantaneous Speed?
500
Quinn pushes a box to the right with 5 N and Shandelle helps push to the right also with 7 N. This is the net force
What is 12 Newtons?
500

A worker pushes a wheelbarrow at a constant speed. The wheelbarrow has two opposite horizontal forces on it: the worker’s push, and friction. If neither force changes and the push force is larger than the friction force, how would you describe the motion of the wheelbarrow?

What is constant speed?

500

What is the sum of all forces acting on an object called?

What is net force?

500

What can influence acceleration

What is increase speed or decrease speed?
