  • What is the unit of force?
    Newton
  • 18 N <-- unbalanced
  • True or False: Kinetic energy depends on the height of an object above the ground.
    False
  • Friction always acts (opposite, the same) the direction of the object’s motion
    opposite
  • SI stands for ...
    The International System of Unit
  • A student leaves a pencil on a desk and the pencil stays in the same spot until another student picks it up. This is an example of ...
    1st law
  • If a student is about to release a ball and let it drop, the ball has –
    potential energy
  • If you walk on a log that is floating in the water, the log moves backward.
    3rd Law
  • Potential or Kinetic: an apple on the table
    potential
  • 0 N balanced
  • Max and Mia are walking toward one another. They bump into each other, and they both fall backwards.
    3rd Law
  • Friction causes moving objects to stop.
    True
  • True or False: The more a rubber band is stretched, the more kinetic energy it has.
    False
  • Rockets are launched into space using jet propulsion where exhaust accelerates out from the rocket and the rocket accelerates in an opposite direction.
    3rd Law
  • 0 N balanced
  • When you paddle a canoe, the canoe goes forward.
    3rd Law
  • Potential or Kinetic: a train moving on tracks
    kinetic
  • 9 N --> unbalanced
  • True or False: When an object is at rest is does not have any kinetic energy.
    True
  • A swimmer pushes water back with her arms, but her body moves forward.
    3rd Law
  • Where on a roller coaster would the car be located that represents the greatest potential energy?
    the highest peak
  • A soccer ball accelerates more than a bowling ball when thrown with the same force. This is an example of ...
    2nd law
  • 4 N <-- unbalanced
  • when a car drives up a hill, what has been increased?
    potential energy
  • Pushing a child on a swing is easier than pushing an adult on the same swing, because the adult has more inertia.
    2nd Law
