What is Inertia? 

Inertia is an object's ability to resist change in its motion. 

100

For a object to move the forces must be...

For objects to move there must be unbalanced forces. 

100

A force is a ____ or _____

A force is a push or pull. 

100

Inertia has nothing to do with Newton's 1st Law. 

False. Inertia is the tendency for an object to stay at rest. 

100

This object is an example of which Law?

The box is an example of Newton's 1st Law because the box is at uniform equilibrium. 

200

Another title for Newton's 1st Law is...

The referred title is "Law of Inertia". 

200

Name three types of acceleration. 

Three types of acceleration are...

1. Speeding up

2. Slowing down

3. Changing direction 

200

Two forces are results of interactions. Name the two forces. 

The two forces are "action" and "reaction" forces. 

200

Forces balanced is Newton's 2nd Law. 

False. Forces are are balanced is Newton's 1st Law. 

200

This object is an example of which Law?


The car accelerating is an example of Newton's 2nd Law. The car has unbalanced forces which causes the care to move. 

300

Newton's 1st Law originates from what kind of motion?

Newton's 1st Law is when objects are in uniform motion. 

300

What is the equation for Newton's 2nd Law?




300

What is an action force? What is an reaction force? 

An action force is a force applied to a object. An reaction force is the opposite result of the action force. 

300

If a car changes direction then that is acceleration. 

True. Changing direction is one example of acceleration. Acceleration is also apart of Newton's 2nd Law. 

300

This object is an example of which Law?


This object is an example of Newton's 3rd Law. Once the ball comes in force will the turquoise ball, the 2nd ball will have a equal force to cause the next ball to move. This creates a loop because each ball will come into contact will each ball with a equal force along with a opposite reaction. The ball at rest once hit will have a opposite reaction (moves).

How is Inertia related to Newton's 1st Law? 

For an object to stay at rest there must be no force greater than zero to be overcome. Inertia resists the force applied to the object allowing the object to continue to be at rest. 

400

State an example of Newton's 2nd Law. 

An example of Newton's 2nd Law is a car speeding up. As the force increases the acceleration also increases. If the driver of the car increases the car's sped more power is added to the sped of the car which causes acceleration.

A force is exerted on a chair when you sit down. What is the reaction force? 

The reaction force is the chair will exert a upward force toward your body. The action force of sitting down causes a opposite reaction but equal force of a upward force. 

400
None of Newton's Laws of Motion apply to Free Fall. 

False. Free fall is an example of Newton's 2nd Law.

What is the reaction and action of this image.



The action is the action force to step towards land. The reaction is the boat moving ashore. The person must push the surface of the boat to get onto land. The boat moves backwards due to the push toward land.

Explain how Newton's 1st Law is applied to a soccer ball at rest. 

A resting soccer ball stays in uniform motion because there is no force acting upon the soccer ball. The ball will stay at the balance point unless a force acts upon the soccer ball. 

500

Why does acceleration decrease when there the mass of an object is increased? 

The more mass an object has, the harder is it for the inertia to be overcome.  If a person is being chased by a bear, the person will try to escape the bear by running in zigzag lines. The bear weighs far more than the person, and the bear will need to slow down to overcome its inertia. Acceleration will slow down due to the bear trying to overcome its inertia every zigzag.

Explain how a hummingbird's flying motion is related to Newton's 3rd Law. 

As the bird flaps their wings off the ground, the force is applied downwards. The force applied downwards allows the bird to be push upwards into the air. The action of downward motion creates a opposite reaction of a upward force. 

500
For every action, there is a complete replica of the action with an unequal reaction. 

False. Newton's 3rd Law states that "For every action, there is an EQUAL and OPPOSITE reaction".

In this image, which team will win or will there be no winner? 



In the battle, there will be no winner. Because of the equal amount of people on each side the forces will be balanced. The forces will be at equilibrium.
