NEWTON'S LAWS

What is inertia?

• The force needed to move an object.

• An object's ability to resist motion

• The measure of the force of gravity on an object.

• A force of attraction.

What equation is used to describe Newton's second law.

• Force = mass x acceleration.

• Speed = distance ÷ time

• Volume = height x width x length

• A² + B² = C²

A combination of all the forces acting on an object is called ________________.

• contact force

• noncontact force

• net force

• gravity

An object at rest will remain at rest unless acted upon by an outside force is Newton's ______________.

• First law

• Second Law

• Third Law

True or False:

As the mass of an object increases so does the force needed to move it.

• True

• False

Newton's third law states that...

• An object at rest will remain at rest unless acted upon by an outside force.

• For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

• The greater the mass of an object the more force will be needed to move it.

Forces that are not equal are called ____________________.

• contact forces

• noncontact forces

• balanced forces

• unbalanced forces

A football sitting still on a tee until it is kicked would be an example of ______________________.

• Newton's first law

• Newton's second law

• Newton's third law

• Ruhl's law

The more mass an object has the more force is required to move it. This is Newton's ______________

• Fist law

• Second law

• Third law

• Schouppe's law

A basketball player pushing off of the floor to jump into the air would be an example of...

• Newton's 1st Law

• Newton's 2nd Law

• Newton's 3rd Law

• Schroedinger's Law
