Laws
Which of Newton's Laws would be demonstrated by two different forces, equal in strength, pushing each other to move in opposite directions of each other.
What is Newton's Third Law of Motion?
The Greek philosopher who lived from 384-322 BC, whose teachings were influential during his lifetime and were used as the basis for Roman Catholic philosophy.
Who is Aristotle?
Newton's Second Law of Motion is often expressed with this mathematical equation.
What is "Total Force = Mass x Acceleration"?
The tendency of an object to resist changes in its velocity.
What is Inertia?
This law states force is dependent on the mass and acceleration of an object.
What is Newton's 2nd Law?
The Law that states: "An object in motion (or at rest) will tend to stay in motion (or at rest) until it is acted upon by an outside force."
What is Newton's First Law of Motion?
The famous English scientist credited for his laws of motion and his theory describing gravity.
Who is Sir Isaac Newton?
If force is constant and mass increases, this happens to acceleration.
What is Decrease?
** DAILY DOUBLE **
The sensory organ in your ears that moves back and forth sending signals to your brain.
What is "cupula"?
This law is known as the Law of Action-Reaction.
What is Newton's 3rd Law?
The Law that states: "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction."
What is Newton's Third Law of Motion?
Who stated that an object in motion will come to rest asap after all forces on the object are removed because it "wants" to be at rest.
Who is Aristotle?
The standard unit of force when dealing with smaller forces and is equivalent to g x cm/sec2.
What is a "Dyne"?
Friction that opposes the initiation of motion.
What is Static Friction?
This law explains why you fall backwards when you bump into something.
What is Newton's 3rd Law?
The Law that is often referred to as the "Law of Inertia".
What is Newton's First Law of Motion?
** DAILY DOUBLE **
Two pivotal scientists other than Newton who spent many years of careful experimenting to turn the tide and dispose of Aristotle's mistakes.
Who is Copernicus and Galileo?
If acceleration increases, this happens to the force.
What is Increase?
The force describing the gases produced in the rocket's engines, pushing out of the rocket, causing it to launch.
What is Thrust?
This law explains why a pencil on the desk will not move until a force is placed upon it.
What is Newton's 1st Law?
The Law that states: "When an object is acted on by one or more outside forces, the total force is equal to the mass of the object times the resulting acceleration."
What is Newton's Second Law of Motion?
This extraordinary mathematician developed a new kind of mathematics we now call "calculus".
Who is Sir Isaac Newton?
The standard unit of force defined as kg x m/sec2.
What is the "Newton"?
Friction that opposes motion once the motion has already started.
What is Kinetic Friction?
This law explains why a person's body is thrown forward in the seat of a moving vehicle when the driver suddenly slams on the brakes.
What is Newton's 1st Law?
