Match the following
An object at rest will stay at rest and an object in motion will stay in motion unless an unbalanced force acts upon it
Newton's First Law of Motion
Acceleration of an object depends on the force exerted on it and its mass. Object with greater mass requires greater force in order to move.
Newton's Second Law of Motion
States that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Newton's Third Law of Motion
This type of force is causes an object to move.
Unbalanced
Force that opposes motion between two objects that are touching; shows the objects not wanting to move
Friction
Devin and Kyran are being silly in math class. They decide to slide their Chromebooks into each other to see what will happen. No one said Devin and Kyran were the brightest bulbs. If they both slide their Chromebooks (same size and mass), what will happen when the Chromebooks hit each other?
Mrs. Broussard will send them to see Mr. Mire
The Chromebooks will bounce back
Only 1 Chromebook will bounce back
The friction on the desk will cause the Chromebooks to not move.
Dak is having a bad day. He misses his woman, Shannon. He decides to blow up a balloon during film time and then let go of it. He knows Coach will get super mad because the balloon will go flying all over the room. What concept is being shown when the balloon flies around the room?
Object at rest
Connections between mass and force
Action/Reaction forces
How is this an example of Newton's Third Law of Motion?
The amount of force they use to push down propels them up.
The Shuttle is at rest so it will stay at rest.
The mass is equal to the gravitational pull.
How is this an example of Newton's 1st Law of Motion?
The puck is waiting for an equal and opposite reaction
The puck is stopped due to friction on the ice.
The puck is at rest so it will stay at rest until an unbalanced force acts upon it.
Kaine pushes a hot wheel car 50 feet down the road and John pushes a bus 50 feet down the road. Who will need to use MORE FORCE to get their vehicle to move?
Kaine
John
Neither --both should use the same amount of force
Butter is riding his bike at a pretty fast pace. He suddenly hits a pothole in the road and flies over his bike and onto the pavement. Which of Newton's Laws best describes why this happened?
Law of Inertia
Law of Action/Reaction
Law of Force & Acceleration
Logie pushes Luke's sled. He falls backward into the YELLOW snow. Which law is at work?
Law of Force and Acceleration
Law of Inertia
Law of Action/Reaction
Hunter wants to get a bowling ball and a basketball to accelerate at the same rate. He already knows that the bowling ball has a lot more mass than the soccer ball. What does he need to do to get both of them to accelerate at the same rate? (roll next to each other)
Push them with the same amount of force
Push the basketball with more force than the bowling ball
Push the bowling ball with more force than the basketball.
Jonathan is on a sled at the top of the hill. Gavin pushes him. The sled starts moving. Which law is at work?
Law of Force and Acceleration
Law of Action/Reaction

Newton's First Law
Newton's Second Law
Newton's Third Law
None of these
Which law is the Law of Force Pairs?
Newton's First Law
Newton's Second Law
Newton's Third Law
None of these
Which law is the Law of Force = Mass x Acceleration

Newton's Second Law
Newton's Third Law
None of these
Mr. Mire loves shopping so much that he decides to take an entire cart and fill it up at Academy. He notices the full cart is much harder to speed up than the empty cart. This is because INCREASING MASS DECREASES _________.
Mass
Weight
Acceleration
An object at rest will stay at rest and an object in motion will stay in motion until an unbalanced force acts upon it (a)
Which Law says that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction
(a)
Which law says that the acceleration of an object depends on the force exerted on it and its mass. An object with greater mass requires a larger force in order to move it.
Newton's First Law
Newton's Second Law
Newton's Third Law
