Question
Answer
What is Newton's First Law of Motion?   An object in motion will stay in motion until it is acted upon by an unbalanced force.  
🗑
What is Newton's Second Law of Motion?   Force = mass x acceleration  
🗑

🗑
What is a force?   Anything that pushes or pulls  
🗑
What is motion?   Movement between two locations  
🗑
What is speed?   How fast an object travels between two locations  
🗑
What is a vector?   A magnitude and direction  
🗑
What is a scalor?   A magnitude  
🗑
What is velocity?   How fast an object travels between two locations and in what direction  
🗑
What is momentum?   How hard it is to stop a moving object  
🗑
What is acceleration?   A slowing down, speeding up or change in direction  
🗑
What is a balanced force?   The net force is zero due to equal and opposite forces canceling out or a constant velocity  
🗑
What is an unbalanced force?   A force that is not cancelled out and produces acceleration  
🗑
What is gravity?   An attraction between two objects  
🗑
What is inertia?   An object in motion does not want to stop (or an object at rest does not want to move)  
🗑
Who is Isaac Newton?   The person who discovered gravity and described the Laws of Motion  
🗑
On a position and time graph, what does a positive slope mean?   The object is moving in a positive direction  
🗑
On a position and time graph, what does a negative slope mean?   The object is moving in a negative direction  
🗑
On a position and time graph, what does a slope of zero mean?   The object is not moving  
🗑
On a velocity and time graph, what does a positive slope mean?   The object is going fast (positive acceleration)  
🗑
On a velocity and time graph, what does a negative slope mean?   The object is sloing down (negative acceleration)  
🗑
On a velocity and time graph, what does a slope of zero mean?   The object is moving with a constant velocity (acceleartion is zero)  
🗑
On a position and time graph, which is the independent variable (X axis)?   Time  
🗑

🗑
What is an example of Newton's first law?   A baseball in space will not stop until it hits another object.  
🗑
What is an example of Newton's second law?   A train is harder to stop than a small car because it has more mass.  
🗑
What is an example of Newton's third law?   A bowling ball knocks over the pins.  
🗑
What is the equation for force?   F = m x a  
🗑
What is the equation for velocity?   V = d/t  
🗑
What is the equation for acceleration?   a = v/t  
🗑

🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
