Newtons 2nd Law

Imagine you're a superhero in the world of physics! An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion unless acted on by a force. Can you tell which one of Newton's Laws of Motion this is?

• 4th Law of Motion

• 1st Law of Motion

• 3rd Law of Motion

• 2nd Law of Motion

Imagine you're in a speedy car that's taking a sharp turn. You feel a force pushing you to the side. What's this phenomenon called where an object resists change?

• inertia

• force

• friction

• drag force

Imagine you're a tiny particle in a world of forces. If you're caught between two unbalanced forces, which direction will you zoom off to?

• Towards the larger force 

• Towards the smaller force 

• In the middle, equally between both forces 

Imagine you're cruising down the street on your skateboard. What type of friction do you think your wheels are most likely experiencing?

• Rolling Friction

• Sliding Friction

• Fluid Friction

• Static Friction

Imagine you're a fish, swimming in the ocean. What type of friction would you experience?

• Rolling Friction

• Sliding Friction

• Fluid Friction

• Static Friction

Let's play a game! Look at this diagram. Do you think it illustrates the force diagram correctly?

• No way, that's not right!

• Yes, absolutely!

Imagine you're a scientist observing an object whizzing by at a speed of 4.0 m/s. You calculate its momentum to be 16 kg*m/s. Can you figure out the mass of this mysterious object?

• Could it be a 20 kg bowling ball?

• Or a 64 kg mini fridge on wheels?

• Maybe it's a 4.0 kg cat chasing a laser pointer?

• Or a 12 kg bag of flour that somehow got airborne?

Imagine you're in a high-speed chase and suddenly you slam on the brakes! When would you feel something similar to that sudden stop?

• The Earth decides to take a break and stops rotating for a second

• You're in a spaceship and it's launch time

• It's raining cats and dogs

• You're in a moving vehicle and it comes to a sudden stop

Imagine you're an astronaut and you've just kicked a soccer ball in space. What do you think will happen to the ball?

• It will eventually come to a stop

• It will keep moving until something else makes it stop

• It will start moving faster and faster

• It will explode due to the high pressure

Imagine you're in a spaceship zooming through the cosmos! The rate at which your spaceship's speed changes is called what?

• Acceleration

• Speed

• Time

• Oscillation
