Newton's Laws
A physics vocabulary term is most associated with Newton’s First Law
What is the Inertia?
In a free-body diagram, forces are represented by these
What are arrows?
In the equation, F = ma, a stands for this.
What is acceleration?
The resistance of an object to changes in motion is called this.
What is inertia?
These laws were created by Isaac Newton.
What are Isaac Newton's Laws of Motion?
The equation F=ma is associated with this Newton's Law
What is Newton's Second Law?
When all forces in a free body diagram cancel out, the object is in this state.
What is equilibrium?
In the equation, F = ma, m stands for this.
What is mass?
The state in which all forces acting on an object cancel out is called this.
What is equilibrium?
This force is responsible for keeping a pool toy afloat when in water.
What is a buoyant force?
Newton’s Third Law states that every action has one of these.
What is an equal and opposite reaction?
If a box is being pushed across a room with 20 N of force, and 3 N of friction is being created, this is how fast the box is moving.
What is 17 N?
In the equation, F = ma, F stands for this.
What is force?
A force that opposes motion between two surfaces in contact is called this.
What is friction?
This force is responsible for keeping an airplane up in the air when flying.
What is lift?
This law explains why an object accelerates when a force is applied.
What is Newton’s Second Law?
The length of an arrow in a free-body diagram represents this property of force.
What is magnitude?
The unit of force in the metric system is named after this scientist.
What is Newton?
When an object is falling, this force acts the opposite of gravity.
What is air resistance?
Newton's Second Law relates force and acceleration in this proportion.
What is directly proportional?
A book resting on a table stays at rest due to this law.
What is Newton’s First Law?
This force goes in the opposite direction from gravity when an object is at rest on a surface.
What is normal force?
The acceleration due to gravity on Earth is approximately this value.
What is 9.8 m/s2?
The quantity of motion an object has.
What is momentum?
Newton's Second Law relates mass and acceleration in this proportion.
What is inversely proportional?
