Mass & Weight | Baamboozle - Baamboozle | The Most Fun Classroom Games!

Where will an astronaut have a greater mass? On the moon or on earth?

None: Mass stays the same, it is not affected by gravity.

Who discovered gravity and how?

Isaac Newton discovered gravity when he saw an apple fall straight down from a tree and wondered why it didn't fall sideways or upwards.

Which direction will the people move? Why?

They will move to the left because the force is unbalanced.

What is net/resultant force? What does it show us?

Net or resultant force is the sum of all the forces acting on an object. It shows us whether the object will accelerate in any direction or remain still.

How does surface area affect air resistance?

The greater the surface area, the greater the air resistance.

What is air resistance? Give an example where it is useful.

Air resistance is a kind of friction which occurs between air and another object. It is useful to parachutists who use it to slow down their fall.

What is Newton's first law? Give an example to support your answer.

An object will not change its motion unless a force acts on it (object in rest will stay at rest) e.g people flying forward when a car stops quickly.

Describe the difference between mass and weight.

Mass is a measurement of how much matter or "stuff" is in an object. Weight is a measurement of the gravity acting on the object.

Describe Newton's third law. Give an example.

Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. e.g. stepping off a boat and the boat pushes back or a rocket pushing air down so that it goes up.
