A car driving down the road runs out of gas. Which of Newton's laws explains why the car continues to move without gasoline? Be able to explain why. This will be a constructed response question.

(a)  

According to Newton's second law, if you increase the force applied to an object :

• it accelerates more
• it doesn't move
• you get more inertia
• it decelerates

Match the following Law of motion with the correct example

• Hit a ball with 2 different forces, the ball will have greater acceleration due to larger force

• Newton's 1st law of motion

• Roll a ball across smooth/rough surfaces. The ball rolls faster on smooth because less fiction

• Newton's 3rd of motion

• Bouncing the ball on the court is the action, the floor pushing the ball back up is the reaction

• Newton's 2nd law of motion
