100
Any push or pull on an object.
What is force?
100
This force is the reason objects fall to the ground. It is a downward pull.
What is gravity?
100
Newton has many laws. Exactly how many?
What are 3 laws?
100
This is the equation to calculate speed.
What is distance divided by time?
100
This shows how long it takes an object to travel a certain distance.
What is distance time graphs?
200
This type of force does not produce a change in motion.
What is balanced force?
200
A force that acts in the opposite direction of the motion of the object (it slows objects down).
What is friction?
200
This law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
What is Newton's Third Law?
200
This is the rate at which an object changes the position over time.
What is speed?
200
A straight line shows an object moving at a this type of speed.
What is constant speed?
300
What is the unit of measure when calculating force?
What is Newton?
300
Different materials provide different amounts of friction. True or False?
True!
300
This law is also known as the Law of Inertia.
What is Newton's First Law?
300
If a ball rolls 15 meters in 5 seconds, what is the speed of the ball in meters per second?
What is 3 meters per second?
300
The steeper the line on a graph the faster or slower the object is moving?
What is faster?
400
This is used to show an objects motion?
What is distance-time graphs?
400
Air resistance is a type of ____________.
What is friction?
400
This is another way to refer to Newton's Second Law of motion.
What is the Law of Acceleration?
400
A train travels 100 meters in 10 seconds. It travels 300 meters in the next 10 seconds. By 30 seconds, it has traveled 900 meters.
Is the speed constant, decreasing, or increasing?
What is increasing?
400
Refer to the graph below. What is the jogger doing between points A and B?
What is jogging at a constant speed?
500
This measures speed and direction.
What is velocity?
500
What is the difference between mass and weight?
Mass is the amount of matter within an object, weight is the measure of the amount of gravity acting on an object. (Weight is a force, mass is not)
500
What is the scientist full name who discovered the three laws?
Who is Sir Isaac Newton?
500
If a bird covers 100 km in 2.5 hours, a dog travels 160 km in 4.5 hours, and a cat travels 150 km in 3.5 hours, which animal has the greatest speed?
Who is the cat?
500
Refer to the graph below. What is the jogger doing from point C to D?
