A person would weigh the same on Bogus Basin as they would at sea level. FALSE: You are farther away from the core of the earth
All objects have gravity TRUE: Just because...
Gravitational pull is affected by how close are to each other. TRUE
The mass of an object is the same on Earth as on the Moon. TRUE
Your Weight is due to the force of gravity pulling on your mass. TRUE

Force is either a ___________________or a__________________. Push and Pull
I am driving a car down the street. What forces are acting on the car? Friction, Gravity, forward momentum, and the road pushing back on the car.
What can you say about these forces? (are they Balanced?) The force of acceleration is greater than friction.
If a car is moving to the right and you add more force to the right, what will happen? The car will speed up
A force opposing all motion and causes things to stop is _______ Friction
If a ball is rolling at a constant speed, what forces are acting on it? (With Friction) Gravity, the ground pushing back on the ball, acceleration, and friction.
What if there was no friction? It wouldn't stop moving.
If a ball is stopped we can get it moving by using a_________force. balanced.
Newtons 1st Law An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
Newtons 2nd Law The acceleration of an object is dependent upon two variables - the net force acting upon the object and the mass of the object.
Newtons 3rd Law For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Which of Newtons laws is illustrated by the following: It will either say 1,2, or 3
It takes 10 N to move a 2 Kg object at an acceleration of 5 meters/sec/sec 2
My car is out of gas, why is it so hard to get it moving? 1
If I increase the mass of a car the acceleration will go down 2
As a bird pushes down with its wings the air pushes its wings back up 3
When my bike hits a rock and stops, why do i fly forward? 2
A rocket blows gas out it's rear, and the rocket moves forward. 1
