If a car makes a sudden sharp turn, passengers feel "pushed" to the side because their bodies are trying to do this, according to the First Law.

What is move in a straight line?

100

If you double the force applied to an object while keeping its mass the same, this will also double.

What is acceleration?

100

 When you sit in a chair, your body pushes down on the chair; this is the reaction force described by the Third Law.

What is the chair pushing up on your body?

100

This force always acts in a direction that opposes the motion of an object

What is friction?

100

 If the net force acting on an object is exactly zero, the forces are described by this term.

What is balanced?

200

This famous scientist's concept of inertia challenged Aristotle’s idea that force is needed to maintain motion.

Who is Galileo Galilei?

200

 This is the mathematical formula used to express Newton's Second Law of Motion.

 What is Force = mass × acceleration?

200

 According to the Third Law, forces always occur in these, never alone

 What are pairs?

200

This type of friction occurs when you push against a heavy object that refuses to move.

What is static friction?

200

 This type of force is required to cause any change in an object's motion or speed.

What is an unbalanced force?

300

This term refers to an object's tendency to resist any change in its motion

What is inertia?

300

A 10 kg bowling ball is pushed with 20 Newtons of force; what is its acceleration?

What is 2 m/s²? (20 N / 10 kg)

300

Newton’s Third Law is often summarized by saying that for every action, there is one of these.

 What is an equal and opposite reaction?

300

 Friction converts kinetic energy into this unusable form, often warming up the surfaces in contact.

What is heat (or thermal energy)?

300

forces have these two primary characteristics, which scientists represent using arrows.

 What are size (magnitude) and direction?

400

 Newton’s First Law states that an object at rest will remain at rest unless acted upon by this type of force.

What is an unbalanced or net force?

400

This is the unit for force, named after the same scientist, and is equivalent to one kilogram-meter per second squared

What is the Newton (N)

400

If you push on a wall, the wall pushes back on you with the same amount of force, but you don't move because the wall is much more massive.

What explains why pushing a wall doesn't make it move?

400

 Engineers use ball bearings or lubricants like oil and graphite to achieve this effect on friction.

What is reducing it?

400

 When two people pull on a rope in a tug-of-war with equal strength but in opposite directions, this is the net force.

What is 0 Newtons?

500

what is the primary factor that determines how much inertia an object has.

what is mass 

500

 In basketball, the harder you kick or throw the ball,the faster it travels to your teammate, demonstrating this law in action.

What is Newton's Second Law (or the Law of Acceleration)?

500

This law states that forces always occur in pairs, with one force being the "action" and the other the equal and opposite "reaction".

What is Newton's Third Law of Motion?

500

 This is the force of attraction between all matter that is due to their masses

What is gravity?

500

 To find the net force of two people pushing a heavy crate in the same direction, you should do this to their individual force values.

 What is add them together?
