What is Newton's 1st law of motion
Definition
An object at rest will stay at rest, an object in motion will stay in motion in a straight line at a constant speed unless acted upon by a net force

Definition
#1 has most potential energy, 2 50% 5%, 3 0% 100%, 4 50% 50%, 5 is 0% 0% (turned to heat energy)

Definition
Gravitational force
Term
If a bowling ball and an apple are dropped from 20 meters up, which would hit the ground first?
Definition
Both would hit the ground at the same time
Term
Friction
Definition
A force that opposes motion between 2 objects that are touching

Kara traveled 50 M in 15 seconds, what was her speed?
Definition
3.33 m/sec
Term
Which object is easier to move, an empty box or one filled with marbles? Why?
Definition
An empty box because it has less mass
Term
Which would have more momentum (or "bashing power") a full truck or an empty truck? Why?
Definition
A full truck because it has more mass
Term
Give 2 examples of Newtons 1st law of motion in daily life. Be specific.
Definition
Rest- A pin unknocked by a bowling ball. A book will sit on the desk until someone moves it.

Motion- Kicking a kickball, a bowling ball knocking the pins
Term
What is Newton's 2nd law of motion?
Definition
An acceleration of an object depends on the net force, acting on the object and the mass of the object
Term
Give two examples of Newton's 2nd law of motion. Be specific.
Definition
Net force- It would hurt less to have a ping pong ball thrown gently at you than going @ full speed

Mass- Rubber ball than a bowling ball on toe- mass.
Term
What is Newton's 3rd law of motion?
Definition
For every action, there is an equal but opposite reaction.
Term
Give two examples of Newton's 3rd law of motion. Be specific.
Definition
Push- Book pushes on desk and desk pushes book.

Pull- Pull right on the pencil and the pencil moves left on my hand
Term
If you hit a tennis ball against the wall with a 5 N of force and then hit that same tennis ball with 20 N of force, which hit would have a greater acceleration?
Definition
20 N because it has a larger net force
Term
When you walk down the hallway at school, your feet push on the ground. What force in return acts on your feet?
Definition
The ground pushes back up on your feet.
Term
How did gravity affect the pool ball, ping pong ball, and the golf ball as they traveled down the ramps in the acceleration lab?
Definition
The ramp is inclined so it gave acceleration to the balls. (pulled down on ramp, ramp pushes ball up, Newton's 3rd law of motion.)
Term
What is the relationship between mass and distance with gravity?
Definition
Distance - As objects gets futher apart gravity is felt less. As they get closer together, gravity is felt more.

Mass- The larger the mass, the larger the gravity. The smaller the mass, the smaller the gravity
Term
Make a list of 5 examples where friction is small between 2 objects.
Definition
Magnet, ice skates on ice, marble floor, little toy car, anything with little masses, little forces, and smooth surfaces.
Term
Make a list of 5 examples where friction is large between two objects.
Definition
Anything with large masses, lage forces, and rough surfaces.
Term
What is the relationship between mass and inertia?
Definition
As mass goes up, inertia goes up. Mass goes down, inertia goes down.
Term
If an object is sitting on the ground with 4 N of force you pull up on the object with 6 N of force, what will happen?
Definition
It willl move up with a force of 2 N.
Term
List the 5 parts of the scientific method, in order and spelled correctly.
Definition
1. Question
2. Hypothesis
3. Procedures/Materials
4. Data
5. Conclusion
Term
List the 4 parts of the conclusion.
Definition
1. Ties to Daily Life
2. Hypothesis right/wrong
3. Lab Errors
4. Learned/ Observed/ Suprised
Term
If you drop a marble and a bowling ball from 3 meters up, which will hit the ground first?
Definition
Both would hit the ground at the same time.
Term
Which would feel the affects of Earth's gravity more, an object on Earth or one far in space?
Definition
An object on Earth because it is closer to the ground, making it make more gravitational force.
