| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Unbalanced | Balanced Forces acting on an object cause the object to accelerate. |
| 9.8 m/s2 | Gravity causes all falling objects to accelerate at a rate of |
| Acceleration | a measure of the change in velocity during a period of time |
| False | The momentum of a 5,000 – kg truck that is standing still is greater than the momentum of a 3,000- kg truck that is also at rest. True/False |
| False | The projectile velocity is the highest velocity that will be reached by a falling object. |
| True | When an object falls, it is reacting to the force of gravity. |
| False | Jane is on a merry – go-round that is moving at a constant speed. Her velocity is also constant. |
| False | Momentum is a property of an object and can not be transferred from that object to another object. |
| True | Object in Earth's orbit appear to be weightless because they are in free fall. |
| False | Friction is a force that encourages motion between two surfaces that are touching each other. |
| Stronger | The greater an object mass, the __________ the gravitational force on it. |
| Gravity | When a ball is dropped, it falls down due to the force of _____________ |
| Sliding | Pushing a box up a hill, you have to overcome ________________ Friction |
| Static | A box doesn't move when you push it because of _____________ friction |
| Acceleration | According to Newton's second law of motion, a larger force acting on an object causes greater ___________ of the object |
| Static | Friction is the friction between two surfaces that are not moving past each other. |
| Rolling | A car slides on ice because it doesn't have enough ______ friction. |
| Gravity changed | Why is your weight less on the Moon than on Earth, but your mass is the same? |
| ball looses momentum and pins gains momentum | A bowling ball hits some pins. Explained what happens to the momentum of the ball and the momentum of the pins. |
| Crumple the paper into a ball to reduce the air resistance. | A book and a piece of paper, the same size, fall at different rates. How can you change the shape of the paper so it will fall at nearly the same rate as the book? |
| The larger, flatter object will create more air resistance. The flatness of the object will catch more air than the less flat object. | Two objects that have the same mass are dropped from a tall building. One object is larger and flatter than the other. Explain why the larger, flatter object hits the ground last. |
| Both of the balls will hit the ground at the same time, due to gravity. | Sally throws a ball horizontally from the top of a tall building at the same time that Pete drops a ball from the top of the same building. Which ball will hit the ground first? |
| friction slows the ball, gravity attracts the ball toward the floor, net force is the racquet acting on the ball | List the forces that act on a tennis ball during a game and explain how each force affects the tennis ball |
| gravity | Is an attractive force between any two objects. |
| Mass and the distance between the objects | The gravitational pull depends on ______ ? |
| weight | The earth gravitational pull determines your |
| Velocity has direction | Momentum has direction because ________ |
| Reaction Force | That backward “kick” of a rifle that is fired is an example of |
| masses and the distance between them | The size of the gravitational force between two objects depends on their |
| decrease | As you get farther from the center of Earth, your weight will |
| action-reaction forces | When a force is exerted on a box, an equal and opposite force is exerted by the box. These forces are called |
| has greater mass | A real car moving at 10 km/h has more momentum than a toy car moving at the same speed because the real car ____. |
| Newton's third law of motion | The statement "to every action there is an equal and opposite reaction" is |
| kg x m/s | The unit of momentum is |
| Mass is the amount of atoms that make up an object, weight is the force on the object due to gravity. If an object experiences a change in gravity, the weight will change, however the mass will remain the same regardless of a change in gravity. | Explain how mass and weight are different from each other. |
| Law of Inertia | What is Newton's first Law |
| Law of Acceleration | What is Newton's Second Law |
| Law of Action/Reaction | What is Newton's Third Law |
