TEDed - Newton's Laws of Motion

What did Isaac Newton describe in the 17th century?

• The fundamental laws of motion

• The causes of bicycle movement

• The answer to three questions

• The Law of Inertia

What is Newton's First Law also known as?

• The Law of Inertia

• The Law of Motion

• The Law of Acceleration

• The Law of Force

What must you overcome to get your bicycle moving?

• Inertia

• Acceleration

• Force

• Mass

What does Newton's Second Law state?

• Force is the product of mass times acceleration

• Force is the product of mass divided by acceleration

• Force is the sum of mass and acceleration

• Force is the difference between mass and acceleration

What allows you to overcome inertia?

• Applying force

• Increasing acceleration

• Decreasing mass

• Slowing down

What is the action/reaction pair when your bicycle wheels spin?

• The parts of each tire pushing backwards against the Earth

• The ground pushing forward against each tire

• The bicycle moving forward

• The Earth barely moving

How many action/reaction pairs are formed by your bicycle tires with the ground?

• One

• Two

• Three

• Four
