Newton's Laws
Simple Machines
Motion!
Energy
Forces
100
This law states that an object in motion tends to stay in motion unless acted upon by an outside force.
What is Newton's first law?
100
A tool that helps lift weights with less effort. An example of this machine is a see saw.
What is a lever?
100
A measurement of distance over time.
What is speed?
100
This is stored energy.
What is potential energy?
100
These are forces that have a net force of zero or equal weight and making objects stay in place.
What are balanced forces?
200
This law states that an object's force is equal to its mass multiplied by its acceleration. (F=ma)
What is Newton's second law?
200
An incline planed wrapped around a cylinder. Its main purpose is to raise a load over the thread. An example of this term is a lid on a soda bottle.
What is a screw?
200
A change in motion caused by unbalanced forces or a change in speed
What is acceleration?
200
This is the ability to do work.
What is energy?
200
This is a force of attraction between any two masses pulls objects down to the center of the earth.
What is gravity?
300
This law states that for every action there is an equal but opposite reaction.
What is Newton's third law?
300
This is a tool or machine that makes work easier. It doesn't, however, reduce the amount of work that is done.
What is a simple machine?
300
An object's speed in a particular direction.
What is velocity?
300
This is moving energy or energy in motion.
What is kinetic energy?
300
This is a force that slows down or stops movement.
What is friction?
400
This factor of motion makes it difficult for a fast moving car to stop quickly.
What is inertia?
400
This is a tool used to lift a heavy load over a short distance or split a log. An example is a knife or an axe.
What is a wedge?
400
Three laws formulated by Sir Issac Newton that describe how objects move in relation to the forces acting on them.
What are Newton's Laws?
400
A ball sitting at the top of a ramp has this kind of energy.
What is potential energy?
400
A force that makes it hard to stop an object
What is momentum?
500
Here is an example of this term: A car is rolling down a hill. It will keep rolling until it is acted upon by an outside force (such as friction of the road).
What is Newton's first law - or - inertia?
500
This machine makes it easier to slide a load upward then to lift it directly.
What is an incline plane?
500
This is the measure of how hard it is to slow or stop a moving object.
What is momentum?
500
Here's an example: a kid is riding their bicycle down the street.
What is kinetic energy?
500
A push or a pull
What is force?
