Newtons laws of motion
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is momentum? | The measure of motion in an object found by multiplying the mass times velocity. |
| What is acceleration? | The change in speed or velocity |
| What is Inertia? | The tendency for an object to stay in motion or at rest. |
| What is net force? | The end result of multiple forces acting on an object. |
| What is a spring scale? | A device used to measure force. |
| What is newtons first law? | An object in motion stays in motion, an object at rest stays at rest unless acted on by an outside force. |
| What is newtons second law? | An time an unbalanced force is applied to an object, the object accelerates depending on the mass. |
| What is gravity? | The attraction between two objects that have mass |
| What is mass? | The amount of matter in an object |
| What is friction? | A force between two surfaces that are touching typically solid surfaces |
| What is weight? | The measure of the force of gravity on an object |
| What is Newtons third law? | For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction force |
| What is force? | A push or pull that changes motion or shape |
| What is Newton? | Metric unit measure force |
