In _______________, Newton wrote his book __________________.
1768, Treatise on Gravity
1678, The Three Laws
1687, Principia
1867, My Velociraptor Obsession
Newton's first law is all about ___________________________.
Inertia
Gravity
Mass
Net force
What is Newton's first law?
An object in motion is probably a velociraptor
An object in motion tends to remain in motion, and an object at rest will remain at rest, unless acted upon by a force
Net force is equal to mass times acceleration
For every action, there is an opposite and equal reaction
What is mass?
an object's tendency to keep doing what it's doing
an abbreviation for Massachusetts
the amount of force left over once you account for all all the forces that might cancel each other out
the measure of how much matter is in something
What is Newton's second law?
An object in motion is probably a velociraptor
An object in motion tends to remain in motion, and an object at rest will remain at rest, unless acted upon by a force
Net force is equal to mass times acceleration
For every action, there's an equal but opposite reaction
What is the equation for Newton's second law?
Fnet = m * a (Net force = mass * acceleration)
Fnet = g * a (Net force = gravity * acceleration)
Fnet = m * g (Net force = mass * gravity)
Fnet = m *Vrap (Net force = mass * velociraptors)
What is net force?
the amount of force left over once you've added together all the forces that might cancel each other out
the measure of how much mass in something
an object's tendency to keep doing what it's doing
the pull on a basketball net when LeBron James performs a sick slam dunk
What is equaiibrium?
an object's tendency to keep doing what it's doing
the measure of how much matter is in something
the state in which all the forces are balanced out
two perfectly balanced velociraptors on a seesaw
What is the most common case of a net force making something move?
magnetic force
electrical force
brute force
gravitational force
What is Newton's third law?
An object in motion is probably a velociraptor
An object in motion will remain in motion, and an object at rest will remain at rest, unless acted upon by a force
Net force is equal to mass times acceleration
For every action, there's an equal but opposite reaction
In physics, what do we measure weight in?
Newtons
Kilograms
Pounds
Triceratops (Ha! Bet you thought I was going to say velociraptors!)
