  • How much force is needed to get a roller coaster car with a mass of 1,300 kg moving to an acceleration of 15 m/s2?
    19,500 N

  • When a diver jumps off a diving board into a pool, she pushes down on the diving board. The diving board then pushes up against her, launching her into the air. Which law of motion is this describing?
    Newton's 3rd Law of Motion

  • While moving, Matt found out that it was much easier to push a box filled with pillows than a box filled with books because the box filled with books had much more mass. Which law of motion is this describing?
    Newton's 2nd Law of Motion

  • While out playing in the yard, you set a rock on top of a fence. The next day, you see that the rock is still sitting where you left it. Which law of motion is this describing?
    Newton's 1st Law of Motion

  • According to Newton's 3rd law of motion, for every action there is an equal and opposite ____________.
    reaction

  • According to Newton's 1st law of motion, an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in ____________ unless an unbalanced force is applied.
    motion

  • Is this a balanced or unbalanced force?
    balanced
  •  10
  • The image is showing an unbalanced force. How do we know it is an unbalanced force?
    The amount of force applied in both directions is unequal. One force is greater than the other.

  • The elephant is free-falling. What force will be in the opposite direction of the force of gravity?
    force of air resistance (Fair)

  • Which bucket has more inertia? The empty bucket or the bucket filled with sand?
    The bucket filled with sand has more inertia because it has a greater mass. It will require a greater force to move it.

  • What is the unit for force?
    Newtons (N)

  • What word describes 2 surfaces rubbing against each other causing an object in motion to slow down.
    friction
  •  10
  • If the mass of an object decreases, the inertia of the object ______________. (increases, decreases, or stays the same)
    decreases
  •  10
  • Inertia is an object's resistance to change. True or False?
    True
