Total questions: 50
Worksheet time: 1hrs 17mins
(a) states that (b) stays (c) or moves in a straight line unless (d)
What does Newton’s 1st Law of Motion state?
An object stays at rest or moves in a straight line unless acted upon by a force
What causes the CO₂ dragster to move forward when the cartridge is punctured?
Which of Newton’s laws explains why the dragster moves forward when gas is released backward?
(a) laws explains that the dragster (b) when gas is (c)
Explain Newton’s 3rd law in relation to the dragster CO2 car.
What does Newton’s 2nd Law of Motion tell us?
Force causes action and reaction
Mass has no effect on speed
Force equals mass times acceleration (F = ma)
Newton's second law says (a) is (b) on the forces (c) and (d) of the object.
Newton's (a) states that if the force (b) , the (c)
Why does a lighter CO₂ dragster usually accelerate faster than a heavier one?
Because it has less mass, requiring less force to achieve the same acceleration.
Which forces slows the dragster down as it travels?
The engine
Friction
A lighter CO₂ dragster usually (a) (accel...) faster than a heavier one?
The force of friction and air (a) (resist...) slows the dragster down as it travels?
What is the “action” force in the dragster car project?
The CO₂ gas pushing out the back
If two dragsters have the same force but different masses, which one will go faster?
According to Newton’s 1st Law, what would happen to the dragster if there were no friction or air resistance?
It would keep moving at the same speed in a straight line
According to (a) the dragster would (b) at the (c) in a (d) if there were (e) or air resistance.
According to Newton’s 1st Law, what would happen to the dragster if there were no friction or air resistance?
Newton's 1 law: "An (a) will stay at (b) or move at a constant (c) unless (d) upon by an external (e) "
(a) means – A race car keeps (b) in (c) line until the driver (d)
Newton's 1st Law
When a driver (a) , the driver’s (b) keeps moving (c) until the (d) stops them.
Tires create (a) (fric...) with the track, helping the car slow down or change direction.
Race cars are (a) with (b) to (c) air (d) and go (e)
Newton’s Second Law ( (a) )
"The (b) is (c) to its (d) times its (e) ."
A (a) race car (b) faster than a (c) truck because it has (d) .
A lighter race car (a) (accel.... fast...) than a heavier truck because it has less mass.
More (a) makes the car (b)
Example: If a driver presses (c) harder, the (d) faster.
If (a) have the (b) from the CO₂ cartridge, the one with (c) will accelerate (d) .
Newton’s 2nd Law explains that the force on an object equals its mass times acceleration.
Write down the formula
Complete the sentence: Newton’s 3rd Law states that for every action, ................
What design choices can reduce friction in a CO₂ dragster, and why is that important?
A (a) dragster has (b) mass, so it takes more (c) to (d) .
(a) (A.... resist...) pushes against the dragster as it moves, slowing it down.
A dragster with a more (a) (aerody... sh...) will have less air resistance, allowing it to move faster and more efficiently.
A dragster with a more (a) shape will have (b) resistance, allowing it to (c) and more (d)
What force pushes the CO₂ dragster forward?
Which of Newton’s laws explains why the dragster keeps moving unless something slows it down?
What does Newton’s 2nd Law (F = ma) help us understand about the dragster?
What two forces slow down the dragster during its run?
Which law of motion explains that an object will stay at rest until a force is applied?
What happens when the mass of a dragster increases, but the CO₂ force stays the same?
Which of the following best represents Newton’s 3rd Law?
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction
What is the main purpose of making a dragster aerodynamic?
What is the main purpose of making a dragster aerodynamic?
To reduce air resistance and increase speed.
Match the following description of one of Newton's Laws to the name of the law.
Newton's First Law
Objects in motion stay in motion, and objects at rest stay at rest unless a force acts upon them.
Newton's Second Law
The force needed to move an object is equal to the mass of the object times acceleration.
Newton's Third Law
For every action, there is an equal & opposite reaction.
Match Newton's Laws of Motion to their descriptions.
An object stays in motion at a constant velocity unless acted on by an unbalanced force.
1st Law
F= m x a
2nd Law
Every force on an object exerts an equal and opposite force back.
3rd Law
Which force acts against the motion of the CO₂ dragster?
Organize these options into the right categories
Speed-up
Quickening
Collision
Crash
Grip
Rubbing
Squeeze
reduction
Organize these options into the right categories of Newton's Law
"For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction."
