For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction
What is Newton's 3rd Law?
100
A pencil sits motionless on the edge of a table.
What is a balanced force?
100
What has a Net Force of 3,000 N left.
100
This is a calculation of how much distance an object moves in a specific period of time.
What is speed?
200
The acceleration of an object depends on its mass and the force applied to it.
What is Newton's 2nd Law?
200
A rollercoaster speeds up as it goes downhill.
What is an unbalanced force?
200
A grocery cart with a mass of 50kg is pushed at a rate of 1.1 m/s2. This is the amount of force it took to push it.
What is 55N?
200
This is the increase or decrease in speed over a specified period of time.
What is acceleration?
300
On object at rest will stay at rest and an object in motion will stay in motion in the same direction and speed until it is acted upon by an unbalanced force.
What is Newton's 1st Law?
300
A rocket cruises towards the moon at a constant speed.
What is a balanced force?
300
Mom drives the car 10 miles down the road to the store, arriving there in 15 minutes (or 0.25 hours). This is the speed that she was driving.
What is 40mph (or 0.66 miles per minute)?
300
This is the calculation of how much distance an object moves in a specific period of time towards a given direction.
What is velocity?
400
An example of this law is "A magician quickly pulls a tablecloth out from under a set of dishes. The dishes remain in the same spot."
What is Newton's 1st Law?
400
Two people push table to the left. There is no one pushing on the right. You might need to calculate this type of force.
What is the Net Force?
400
Suzy walks quickly North to get to the park, which is 3 miles away. It takes her 30 minutes to get there. This would be her velocity.
What is 6mph (or 0.1 miles per minute)?
400
A marble that makes a turn on a roller coaster track is an example of this.
What is acceleration?
500
An example of this law is "A semi-truck and a small car are traveling at the same speed. They each hit the brakes at the same time, but the truck takes much longer to slow down."
What is Newton's 2nd Law?
500
A car at a steady speed on a racetrack begins to turn around the loop.
What is an unbalanced foce?
500
A plane accelerates down the runway at a speed of 2.5m/s2. It weighs 1,150kg. This is the amount of force it takes to move it.
What is 2,875N?
500
An example of this type of measurement would be a car moving 30 km/hr to the South.
