We call the resistance to a change in motion this.
What is inertia?
The acceleration of an object depends on this:
Mass and net force
The Unit of force is this.
What is the Newton?
Forces that are equal in strength and opposite in direction and cause no motion are called this.
Balanced forces
The unit for acceleration is written as...
What is m/s2?
If two rocks with different masses are rolling down a hill, will the bigger rock, or smaller rock take more force to stop?
the bigger rock
an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by an outside force, is an example of which law?
Newton's first law
This law states F=ma.
What is Newton's 2nd law?
One object pushing on another will always receive a push in return. True or false.
True
This is the sum of all forces acting on an object.
Net force
As the fuel burns in a rocket and gases push against the rocket, moving it upward this explains which of Newtons laws.
Newton's Third Law
If you put a notecard on a cup, and a penny on top of the notecard and flick the card so the penny falls in the cup, which force is acting on the penny so it falls down?
gravity
What causes a ball that has been kicked across the ground to stop?
Friction
Objects with more mass need a greater ________ to accelerate
What is force?
A box has a mass of 5 kg and accelerates at 2 m/s².
What is the force applied?
F=5 kg×2 m/s2=10 N
If someone is pushing a box with 15 Newtons and it accelerates at 5m/s2 , what would the mass of the box be?
3 kg
If you drop two rocks with different masses from the top of a building at the exact same time. Which one will hit first?
Dribbling a basketball is an example of which law?
What is Newton's third law
A ball bounces away when another ball hits it. Which law does this demonstrate?
Newton's 3rd law.
A skateboarder has a mass of 40 kg. A force of 120 N is applied to push the skateboarder forward.
What is the skateboarder’s acceleration?
120N / 40 kg = 3 m/s2
Gravity is affected by these two factors.
What is mass and distance?
