Which law explains why we need to wear seat belts?
First Law of Motion
200
Does a stationary object have force acting on it?
No, since it is stationary and not moving there is no outside force acting on it.
200
How do you calculate force?
force=mass x acceleration
200
What is a change in speed and direction?
velocity
200
What is speed?
the distance an object travels per unit of time
200
Which law says that force is equal to mass times acceleration?
Second Law of Motion
300
What is the amount of matter an object has?
mass
300
What will happen to an object if it's is pushed with a greater amount of force?
It will move faster or it will have a greater acceleration.

What is meters per second a unit for?
momentum
300
What is a force that opposes motion between two surfaces that are in contact?
friction
