What is a force? | A push or a pull |
What is mass? | The amount of matter an object contains |
What are balanced forces? | Forces that are equal and opposite and cancel each other out |
What are unbalanced forces? | Forces that are not equal and opposite and do not cancel each other out |
What kind of forces cause objects to move or to stop moving? | Unbalanced forces |
What is a net force? | The total force acting on an object |
Martha pulls a box with a force of 50N to the right. Randy pulls with a force of 110N to the left. In which direction will the chair accelerate? What is the net force acting on the chair? | Toward Randy to the left, and the net force is 60N left |
State Newton's 1st law of motion | An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion unless acted on by an unbalanced force |
State Newton's 2nd law of motion | F=m*a or a=f/m |
State Newton's 3rd law of motion | For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction |
Give an example of Newton's 1st law | A ball will stay in place until something pushes it, then it will continue rolling until friction slows it down or it hits something. |
Give an example of Newton's 2nd law | It takes more force to push a boulder than a small rock |
Give an example of Newton's 3rd law | When a rocket blasts down, it shoots up. |
What is Inertia? | The tendency of an object to want to keep doing what it is doing |
What determines how much inertia an object has? | Mass |
What is the correct unit for force? | Newton |
Which law of motion relates to action/reaction forces? | 3rd Law |
How does inertia relate to heavy objects and lighter objects? Meaning... which is easier to push and why? | Heavier objects will be harder to push because heavier objects have more inertia |
Explain this concept using Newton’s 3rd Law of Motion: You press down on the water with a beach ball and you feel the water pushing back up. | As you push down on the water with the beach ball, the water presses back up on you and the beach ball |
Which law is the Law of inertia? | Newton’s 1st law |
What are the two factors that determine the amount of force an object has according to Newton’s 2nd Law of Motion? | Mass and acceleration |
Explain the equation F = m*a | To determine force you need to multiply mass by acceleration |
Explain the equation a = F/m | To determine acceleration you need to divide the force by mass |
