What is inertia?
Newton's 2nd Law of Motion is also known as this.
What is the Law of Force and Acceleration?
Newton's 3rd law is also called this.
What is the Law of Action and Reaction?
It takes less force to pull an empty wagon than a wagon with someone in it.
What is Newton's 2nd Law?
Isaac Newton was born in a tiny village called Woolsthorpe in this country.
What is England?
The first law states that an object at rest remains at rest, or an object in motion remains in motion, unless acted on by this.
What is an unbalanced force (or external force)?
The second law states that Force = ______ x ______.
What is mass times acceleration?
The third law states that for every action there is an equal and _________ reaction.
What is opposite?
The floor pushes up as a person’s foot pushes down.
What is Newton's 3rd Law?
At 18, Newton began studying for a law degree at this university.
What is Cambridge University (Trinity College)?
An object's resistance to change.
What is inertia?
The units of force.
What are Newtons?
The force that resists the sliding or rolling of one solid object over another.
What is friction?
It takes less force to move a bicycle than a motorcycle.
What is Newton's 2nd Law?
Newton discovered the law of gravity by observing this.
What is an apple falling from a tree?
A push or a pull exerted on one object by another object.
What is a force?
The greater the mass of the object being accelerated, the greater amount of what is needed to accelerate the object.
What is force?
The action is you when you jump, your legs apply a force to the ground. The reaction is this.
What is the ground applying an equal and opposite reaction that pushes you into the air?
A ball will not move until it is kicked.
What is Newton's 1st Law?
One of the most important scientific books ever written, in which Newton explains gravity and motion using mathematics.
What is Principa?
Which object has greater inertia: a bowling ball or a tennis ball?
What is a bowling ball? It has greater mass.
The force needed to accelerate a 1,000 kg car 2 m/s2.
What is 2,000 N?
A car accelerates because the ground pushes forward on the tires in reaction to this.
What is the tires pushing backward on the ground?
A baseball player swings, and the ball pushes on the bat, and the bat pushes on the ball.
