Who is the scientist that Newton's Laws of motion are named after? Need more than just "Newton" in your answer
Sir Isaac Newton
What is the mathematical equation that we use for Newton's 2nd law?
F = m * a
Newton's 3rd Law states that for every....
action there is an equal and opposite reaction
What is one force that is acting on all objects to keep them here on Earth?
The force of gravity.
A box remains motionless until a person begins to push it
1st Law
Newton's first law is often called what other name?
The law of interia
What unit measures Force?
Newtons (N)
When a cannon fires a cannonball, the cannon pushes the cannonball and the cannonball pushes the cannon with an ________ and _______ force
Equal/Opposite
Normal Force
A rocket blasts off into space.
3rd
Define Newton's 1st Law
An object at rest (in motion) remains at rest (in motion) unless acted upon by an outside force
What unit measures acceleration?
(m/s2)
What does "conservation" mean?
To save something. Nothing is "lost". The principle by which the total value of a physical quantity or parameter remains constant in a system.
Draw a free body diagram for the following situation: A rightward force is applied to a textbook in order to move it across the desk with a rightward acceleration.

A ball is dropped from a height and bounces back up.
3rd
Inertia is directly related to an object's...
mass
An object accelerates 4 m/s2 when a force of 48 N applied to it. What is the mass of the object? Include units
12 kg
Explain why astronaut Mark accelerated at a different rate than the basketball if the force that Mark pushed on the basketball was also pushed from the basketball onto Mark.
Mark has a much larger mass, which means that since the forces were the equal (but opposite) his acceleration must be smaller, since F = m * a
Draw a free body diagram for the following situation: A skydiver jumps out a helicopter and experiences a downward acceleration. Consider air resistance.
A person slips and slides across an icy surface, eventually coming to a stop.
1st
Would it be easier to change the motion of a truck or a ping pong ball? WHY?
A ping pong ball because it has less inertia which means it has less resistance to change in motion
An object with a mass of 11 kg has a force of 33 N applied to it. What is the resulting acceleration of the object?
Because the forces are acting on DIFFERENT objects, not the same object
This object could be doing two different things. Describe those 2 types of motion.
1. At rest
2. Moving at a constant velocity (not accelerating)
As an ice skater pushes harder, they begin to move faster.
