What is a force?

A push or pull.

100

The Law of Action and Reaction.

100

What is criteria?

Goals/things that could be nice to have.

200

What type of force is friction?

A pull force.
200

Define collision

An event in which two bodies(objects) exert two(or more) forces on each other.

200

What are balanced forces?

Forces that are equal in size and opposite in direction.

200

What is the meaning of the third law?

For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

200

What is a contraint?

Must haves in an investigation.

300

Who discovered gravity?

Isaac Newton.

300

Define Acceleration

The change in motion due to the object's changing speed.

300

What are unbalanced forces?

A force applied in one direction is greater than the force applied in the opposite direction.

300

What is Newton's first law?

The Law of Inertia.

300

Measured results of an investigation.

400

400

What is a Fair Investigation?

400

What is a Constant Variable?

Variables that are kept the same.

400

What is the meaning of the first law?

An object at rest will stay at rest and an object in motion will stay in motion unless another force acts on it.

400

What is an independent variable?

500

Does the distance from an object affect how far it moves?

Yes

500

What's a Standard of Comparison?

Something used to judge or measure against

500

What are Force Pairs?

Equal and opposite forces always present when two objects are in contact.

500

What is Newton's second law?

Force = Mass + Acceleration

500

How does the mass of an object change how the object will move when a force is acted on it?

The more mass an object contains, the less movement the object has when it happens.
