120 km/h
What kind of motion is this graph depicting?
Acceleration (positive)
An object has a force of 40N applied to it, which makes it accelerate at a rate of 5m/s2. How much mass does the object have?
8 kg
What is the net force acting on the box above?
224 N to the right
Action: A frog jumping
What is the action force?
What is the reaction force?
Action force: The frog pushes down on the ground.
Reaction force: The ground pushes the frog up.
If a car is traveling at a constant speed of 110 kilometers per hour (km/h), how many hours will it take for the car to travel a distance of 350 kilometers?
3.18 hrs
According to the graph, between 2 and 4 seconds the ball was...(describe it's motion)
Not moving/at rest.
An object accelerates 5m/s2 when a force of 20N is applied to it. What is the mass of the object?
4 kg
Action: Swimming
What is the action force?
What is the reaction force?
Action force: Swimmer pushes the water backwards
Reaction force: The water pushes the swimmer forward.
What is inertia?
The tendency of an object to resist a change in it's motion (to resist acceleration).
How long would it take a basketball travelling 2.25 m/s, to travel 4.6 meters when shot from the free-throw line?
2.04 seconds

8 m/s2
Action: Rocket flying
What is the action force?
What is the reaction force?
Action force: the rocket pushes the exhaust downwards.
Reaction force: The exhaust pushes the rocket up.

38.43 N
Using physics terms, explain why small children have to use lighter bowling balls than adults if they want to throw the ball at the as fast as them.
They can't apply as much force as the adults do, so they need a ball with less mass to be able to accelerate it at the same rate.
Using physics terms, explain how the picture above relates to Newton's 1st law of motion. (For example: explain where the balanced/unbalanced forces are coming from/going)
When the bike hit the wall, the wall applied an unbalanced force to it, which accelerated it rapidly to 0mph, but the wall did not apply any unbalanced force to the driver, so he continued at the same velocity as when he hit the wall.
