Exploring Force and Motion with Newton's Laws

What is the basic definition of force?

• A push or a pull

• A change in temperature

• A change in color

• A type of energy

What happens when forces are balanced?

• Objects start moving

• Objects change color

• Objects heat up

• Nothing happens

What is gravity?

• A form of energy

• A type of friction

• A force of attraction between objects

• A force that pushes objects up

What does Newton's First Law state?

• Energy cannot be created or destroyed

• Force equals mass times acceleration

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

• An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion

What is inertia?

• The tendency of an object to resist changes in its motion

• The force that pulls objects towards the Earth

• The energy stored in an object

• The speed at which an object moves

What role does friction play in motion?

• It speeds up objects

• It increases the mass of objects

• It slows down objects

• It changes the color of objects

What happens when you apply more force to a lighter object?

• It changes shape

• It moves faster

• It stops moving

• It moves slower

What does Newton's Third Law state?

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

• An object at rest stays at rest

• Force equals mass times acceleration

• Energy cannot be created or destroyed

How do action and reaction forces work in a bumper car scenario?

• Both cars move in opposite directions

• Neither car moves

• Both cars move in the same direction

• Only one car moves

How does Newton's Second Law apply to a roller coaster?

• The roller coaster moves in a straight line

• The roller coaster stays at rest

• Applying a force makes the roller coaster move

• The roller coaster changes color
