100

Definition - What does Newton’s 1st law state?

Objects at rest remain at rest and objects in motion stay in motion unless acted upon by unbalanced forces

100

Force - What unit is force measured in?

Newtons

100

Action and Reaction - Are action and reaction opposites and why?

Yes because when one force occurs there is always another force pushing back on that one.

200

Net Force - If there is a balanced force then what is the net force always?

The net force is always 0. 

200

Definition - What does Newton's 2nd law state?

Force = Mass x acceleration

200

Definition - What does Newton's 3rd Law state?

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Kilo grams

Example of the law in the real world  

If a book is sitting on a table what forces are acting on it?

Example of Law in the Real World - How is swimming a real life example of this law?

When you swim you push water backward and the water pushes you forward.

  • Which of the following correctly describes Newton’s second law and act it out.

    1. Pushing a really heavy cart of groceries vs pushing a light cart. 
    2. Stopping a grocery cart to get some food. 

1. Pushing a really heavy cart of groceries vs pushing a light cart.

Example of law in real world - How is pedaling a bicycle harder which makes the bike go faster an example of Newton’s second law. 

You are putting more force into pedaling the bike which in turn makes the bike accelerate faster which is as Newton’s second law states because the mass stays the same but the force and acceleration increases.

  • Which of these correctly describes Newton’s third Law and act it out. 

  1. A book staying on a shelf 

  2. Playing Tug of War where one team has more people. 

  3. Jumping up and down.
