Energy, Force, and Motion

Front

What is Newton's Third Law of Motion?

Back

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

Front

Provide an example of Newton's Third Law of Motion.

Back

The air rushing out of a balloon causes it to move across the room.

Front

What does Newton's Second Law of Motion state?

Back

F = M x A (Force equals mass times acceleration).

Front

What are the three energy transformations that occur when a rocket ship takes off?

Back

Chemical - Thermal - Mechanical.

Front

What force pulls a ball back to the ground when it is thrown into the air?

Back

Gravity.

Front

On a distance-time graph, what indicates that an object has returned to its starting point?

Back

If the distance goes back to 0.

Front

What is the definition of force?

Back

A push or pull on an object.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

The tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion.

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

Force (F) = Mass (M) x Acceleration (A).

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

The energy an object has due to its motion.
