Who is Issac Newton?
The person who created the laws of motion
For every action, there is an equal but opposite reaction.
Newton's 3rd law
What is Newtons first law?
Any object in motion stays in motion unless an unbalanced force acts on it.
What is the definition of acceleration?
rate at which velocity changes with time
What is Newtons third law?
For every action there is an equal/opposite reaction.
Name two things Newton studied.
laws of motion, gravity
How many laws of motion are there?
There are three laws of motion
what is the name of Newtons first law
inertia
true or false, throwing a ball is a example of Newtons second law
true
What is an example of Newtons third law?
Someone getting out of a boat moving forward and Moving the boat pushing backwards
What is the unit for force?
Newton
A larger force on an object will give the object a larger acceleration. Which law?
Newton's 2nd Law of Motion
What is inertia?
Newtons first law
what is Newtons second law
Force is equal to the mass of an object times its acceleration
If you push down on a box with a force of 5 Newtons, then......
the box pushes back on you with a force of 5 Newtons.
True or False? Weight is the measure of the force of gravity on your body.
True
If I push on the wall, the wall pushes back on me with an equal force.
Newton's 3rd law
Which object has more inertia? A cow or a small dog?
A cow because it has more mass.
If you push a heavy shopping cart and then a light shopping cart with the same amount of force, which one will accelerate faster? Why?
the light shopping cart because there is less mass in it
What are the units for weight in science class?
Newtons
An object at rest wants to stay at rest.
Newton's 1st law
Which has less inertia? a bowling ball or a tennis ball?
a tennis ball because it has less mass
You are playing catch. If you want to throw a baseball as far and as fast as possible, what is something you can do to change (besides throwing harder) to increase the acceleration of the ball?
To increase the ball's acceleration (and therefore speed and distance), you can adjust the point of release by increasing the length of your throwing arm's swing and the angle of your wrist at release (or use a lighter ball)
If Mrs. Butler pushes her car with 15 Newtons of force,
