What is a PUSH or a PULL of an object?
Motion
Friction
Force
Gravity
What causes a ball rolling across a rug to slow to a stop?
The rug doesn't have enough force to hold the ball.
Friction resists the ball's forward motion.
The rug doesn't have enough momentum to keep the ball moving.
The ball isn't moving fast enough.
Who developed the 3 laws of motion?
Bill Nye
Charles Darwin
Albert Einstein

force
gravity
inertia
The resistance when a surface of an object moves over another surface is known as what?
gravity
force
friction
acceleration
acceleration increases
nothing happens
it becomes more massive
acceleration decreases
If an object has a small mass, it wouldn't need as strong of a force to accelerate it. Which law does this describe?
Newton's 1st Law

Newton's 3rd Law
Newton's 4th Law
For falling objects, the acceleration constant due to gravity is...
9.8 m/s2

2.0 m/s2
Law of Inertia
Newton's 1st Law
Law of Acceleration

static
Friction at Rest
sliding
Friction between objects sliding pass each other
rolling
Friction from use of wheels, ball bearing, etc...
fluid
Friction from liquids or gases
sliding
Friction between the wheels and the road slows your bike to a stop.
The measure of the gravitational force pulling on a mass is
mass
weight
magnetism
g or kg
unit for mass
N
unit for force
m/s2
unit for acceleration
directly proportional
as one amount increases, another amount increases at the same rate
indirectly proportional
when the value of one quantity increases with respect to a decrease in another or vice-versa
directly proportional
The greater the force that is applied, the greater the acceleration
indirectly proportional
If the same force is applied to an object with a large mass, it will have a lesser acceleration
Force arrows are used to represent the ____________ and direction of the forces.
length
magnitude
distance
inertia

Newton's 2nd law
Newton's 3rd law
Newton's 1st law
Newton's 3rd law
Which accurately describes acceleration?
speeding up/slowing down only
slowing down to change direction only
speeding up, slowing down, & changing direction

200 Newtons, opposite direction
200 Newtons, same direction
Friction and air resistance are forces that:
can make an object slow down or stop
pulls an object toward the center of Earth
changes an object's position
can't be described
