Newton's 1st Law
What is Mass?
The amount of matter in an object
What is friction
The resistance caused by the surface of an object on another objects surface.
What is acceleration?
Any change in the speed or direction of a moving object. The changes to the speed.
or Acceleration = Force / Mass
What is momentum?
A measure of the amount of motion of a moving object.
What happens if you throw a ball up in the air? and which Newton's law explains this?
The ball will come back down to the ground. Newton's 3rd law.
What is Force?
A push or pull on an object.
What is inertia?
The tendency of an object in motion to stay in motion and an object at rest to stay at rest unless acted upon by some outside force.
What is Newton's 2nd Law
F=ma or The acceleration of an object is dependent upon two variables, the net force acting upon the object and the mass of the object.
What is velocity?
How fast an object is going in a given direction.
If a rocket is launched and the propellent ( the fuel ) shoots downwards. What will happen to the rocket?
The propellent goes down and the rocket will go up.
What is Newton's 1st law?
An object at rest will stay at rest unless acted upon by an outside force and an object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by an outside force.
There are two objects that need moved. One object is bigger than the other. Which of the two objects will require more force to move the object?
The object with more mass will require more fore to move it.
What is the unit used for force?
A newton (for example, 8N)
What is an applied force
A force that is put on (or applied to) another object.
What is Newton's 3rd law?
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Gravity
What are the forces that are in opposition to the motion of an object as it passes through the air?
Air resistance force.
What are the formulas for finding Force mass and acceleration?
Mass x acceleration = Force
Force /(divide) acceleration = mass
Force /(divide) mass = acceleration
What is net force?
The sum (or total) of all the forces acting upon an object.
If a person jumps forward out of a kayak, then the kayak will push away from the person and go backwards.
What is a balanced force?
The forces Equally acting upon an object to cause it to stay motionless or the forces equally acting upon it to cause constant motion.
What is an unbalanced force?
When forces are unequally applied to an object, in opposite directions. Generally the objects are moving to help you know there is an un balance of forces.
What causes an object to move?
Force, which cause the object to accelerate. Which cause the object to be in a state of unbalanced forces.
What will be the outcome of two vehicles heading towards each other at the same velocity, but one has more mass than the other vehicle?
The vehicle with more mass will come out of the accident with less damage, because it had more mass.
How are Newton's laws relevant to my everyday life?
They tie into almost everything we see and do in everyday life. Like how things move or sit, still, how you are able to walk or even why you don't float out of your bed at night.
