What is Newton's first law of motion?

Law of inertia or an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion, stays in motion unless an outside force acts on the object

What century did Newton live in?

17th century

Newton created ________ (how many?) laws of motion.

Three

100

What is speed?

The distance traveled per unit of time.

A car is easier to push than a bus. This is an example of which of Newton's Laws?

Newton's 2nd law.

When was Newton born?

Newton was born on Christmas Day in 1642.

The slingshot was pulled back and the rock propelled forward. This is an example of which law of motion?

Newton's 3rd law.

300

What is Newton's Second Law of Motion

This is a push or pull.

Force

A kickball continues to roll until it hits the fence. This is an example of which law of motion?

Newton's 1st law. 

400

An object will _________________ in the direction that you push it.

accelerate

400

When did Newton make his laws?

Newton developed his laws of motion in 1666.

400

This is a resistance to change.


Inertia

Define all three of Newton's laws in order.

  • Newton's First Law of Motion states that in order for the motion of an object to change, a force must act upon it.
  • Newton's Second Law of Motion defines the relationship between acceleration, force, and mass. (F=ma)
  • Newton's Third Law of Motion states that any time a force acts from one object to another, there is an equal force acting back on the original object.

When and how did Newton present his Laws?

in his seminal work "Principia Mathematica Philosophie Naturalis,”

500

This is a force of resistance between 2 objects.

According to Newton's third law, " If you _________ on it, it ____________ on you!"


"If you PUSH on it, it PUSHES on you!
