Newton’s Laws – 8.6C
Newton’s _________ Law of Motion states that for every action, there is an equal and
opposite reaction. Forces come in pairs. It is often referred to as the law of action-reaction.
Newton’s _________ Law of Motion states that an object at rest will stay at rest and an
object in motion will stay in motion at the same speed and in the same direction unless
acted up by an unbalanced force. It is sometimes called the law of inertia.
Newton’s _________ Law of Motion states that an object acted upon by an unbalanced
force will accelerate in the direction of that force, in direct proportion to the strength of the
force, and in inverse proportion to the mass of the object. It is called the law of force and
acceleration.
Define inertia and give an example.

force. Which cart has the greatest change in speed? Circle the cart above and explain
your answer below.
Work – 7.7A
In science, for “work” to be performed, a force must be used to move an object.
Regardless of how much force is being used, if no movement occurs, no work is done.
Work = _______________________________ x ___________________________________
Work is measured in a unit called _______________________________ ( _____ ).
The man in the picture is pushing against the beach ball with 20
Newtons of force. The ball does not move. How much work is
he doing? Show all work!

Use the information and diagrams below to answer the 2 questions that follow.
A student needs to lift a heavy ball up onto a table that is 2 meters high. She uses 6 N of
force to raise the ball straight up (Ex. #1), but only 3 Newtons of force is required to roll the
ball up the ramp (Ex. #2).

F=6N
F=3N
