Understanding Newton's 1st Law
Inertia
Balanced vs Unbalanced Forces
External Forces
Real World Examples
100

An object at rest ......

What is stays at rest unless an external force acts on the object.  

100

What is inertia?

What is an object's resistance to change its current state of motion? 

100

Forces that are equal in size but opposite in direction, they cancel eachother out, resulting in no change of motion.

What are balanced forces? 

100

Pushes or pulls that come from outside an object. 

What are external forces? 

100

A book sitting on a a table stays there until someone picks it up. What part of Newton's 1st law is being represented. 

What is an Object at rest stays at rest unless acted on by an external force?

200

An object in motion....

What is stays in motion at a constant velocity unless an external force acts on the object?

200

Objects in motion resist what according to the law of inertia? 

What is changing speed, stopping or changing direction? 

200
Forces that do not cancel eachother because of a Net Force greater than 0, this results in the object's motion to change. 

What are Unbalanced Forces? 

200

Direct pushes or pulls.

What are applied forces? 

200

Kicking a soccer ball.

What is an unbalanced force?

300
An object in motion will stay in motion with a constat velocity unless acted upon by an external force. What is constant velocity?
What is moving at a constant speed and constant direction? 
300

An object at rest will resist what according to the Law of Inertia. 

What is resist being put in motion? 

300

A box is sitting motionless on the floor. Are the forces balanced or unbalanced?

What is a Balanced Force? 

300

Force pulling objects toward Earth.

What is Gravity? 

300

A boat moving at a constant velocity.

What is a Balanced Force? 
400

What happens to a moving object if no external forces act on it? 

What is it will continue at a constant velocity?

400
Some objects have more inertia than others and therefore require more external force to change their emotion. What causes this? 

What is Mass? 

400

What type of forces cause an object to start moving from rest? 

What are unbalanced forces? 

400

Force that opposes motion.

What is Friction? 

400

It is harder to push a shopping cart full of groceries than an empty one. What explains this? 

What is Inertia?
500

An object at rest has a constant velocity of.....

What is 0?

500

Why do you feel pushed back in your seat when a car accelerates quickly? 

What is your body's inertia wants to resist the change of motion?

500

What Net Force does a Balanced Force have in motion and at rest? 

What is a net force of 0? 

500

If a book is pushed on a frictionless surface, what will happen to the book's motion? 

What is the book will continue at a Constant Velocity? 

500

A hockey puck slides across ice and eventually stops. What external force caused it to stop? 

What is Friction?
