A force is a?

Push or a Pull

100

Motion always begins or ends with this.

A Force

100

For every force.

There is an equal and opposite force.

100
The difference between speed and velocity is this

Velocity is associated with a specific direction while speed is not.

100

If an object is traveling at sixty miles per hour how far will it travel in an hour.

60 miles

200

This is the force which pulls on all things with mass from a distance.

Gravity

200

Changes in motion can only occur when one of these is applied to an object.

An Unbalanced Force

200

A ten pound ball traveling at thirty m/s runs into a one pound ball which is stationary. What is the relationship between the forces applied to each of them.

They are equal and opposite.

200

Acceleration is the measurement of this.

The change in the velocity of an object.

200

If an object travels 30 miles in ten minutes how fast is it traveling.

120 mph

300

This is the kind of force which results from to objects touching one another.

Contact Force

300

Horizontal motion can only be caused by this?

A force applied horizontally.

300

An object in motion will.

continue traveling in a straight line at a constant speed unless an outside force is applied.

300

Equilibrium is when this is true about an object.

All applied forces are balanced.

300

10,000 grams is how many newtons?

100 Newtons

400

This is the force which makes it more difficult to push something across concrete than ice.

Friction

400

An object rolling across a frictionless surface will?

Continue rolling at a constant speed unless an outside force is applied.

400

Why does a child go flying off of their sled when it collides with a pile of snow at the bottom of the hill.

Inertia

400

The net force applied to an object is equal to this.

The sum of all forces applied to an object.

400

What is one half of three quarters.

three eighths

500

This is the force which makes it difficult to start moving a heavy object.

Static Friction

500

Why does a basketball shot travel in an arc?

Only its vertical motion is affected by gravity, while its horizontal motion has only very small counteractive forces.

500

An object in equilibrium will do one of these two things.

Remain Motionless, or Continue to move in a straight line at a constant speed.

500

When an object applies a force to another object this is called an.

Interaction

500

If an object with a mass of 10kg is accelerating at a rate of 9.81 m/s squared how many newtons is the force it will create on impact with another object.

98.1 Newtons
