Bill Nye Video – Motion Notes
1. ________________________ put things into motion.
2. Forces are when something is __________________ or __________________.
3. When the scooter is put on the air track, what happen when he puts it on there &
let’s go?
4. What does it take for it to move?
5. If there was enough track and enough air, the scooters would keep on scooting
_______________________ - there would be nothing to slow them down.
6. When an object is at rest, or sitting still, it __________________ sitting still unless acted
on by an ______________________ force. Something that is moving will keep
______________________ unless acted on by an outside ______________________.
7. This is true of ___________________ you can touch & see. _______________________ is
a property of matter.
8. Which ball is harder to move? Why?
9. We call this property of matter _______________________.
10. The anvil has a _____________ of inertia and it is being acted on by the outside
force of ________________________.
11. It is also being acted on by another outside force – the pull of the
________________________.
12. The air is pushing ___________ on the anvil while gravity is pulling ______________ on it
– they are in _____________________ so it keeps its state of motion.
13. Because it has a lot of inertia, its takes a ____________ push to get it moving – to
change its state of motion.
14. Why does the quarter fall into the glass? The quarter has ______________________ it’s not moving so it stays at ______________________. The card slides out so easily, it
doesn’t ________________________ the quarter’s inertia so the quarter
_________________ put. Once the card is gone, there is nothing _________________
the quarter up so it falls into the glass.
15. Whether something is moving or staying still, everything has __________________.
16. Newton’s Laws of _____________________.
17. 1st - Law of __________________ – things at _________________ stay at rest; things in
___________________ stay in motion unless acted on by an outside
____________________.
18. 2nd Law – To move a ____________________ you need a _____________________ (push
or pull).
19. __________ = _______________ * _________________ - F=ma
20. To get the same mass to have twice as much acceleration, you need
____________________________ as much force.
21. 3rd law – for every ____________________, there is an equal and opposite
__________________.
22. To have motion, takes _________________________ - you got to either
_________________ or _______________________.
23. The scale measures the pull of _________________________ on the apple’s mass.
24. When the plane descends & the apple is falling at the same speed as gravity
makes it fall, the scale reads ____________________ because they are weightless.
25. When the plane pulls up, the scale reads _______________________ because the
plane is ______________________ the apple up against the pull of gravity.
26. Mass is measured in _________________ or kilograms, so the apply may be weightless
but it is not ______________________.
27. In space, do the laws of motion still apply?
28. Why didn’t the plates fall to the floor when the tablecloth is pulled out from under
them?
29. The more the _________________________, the more _____________________ you
need.

1. ________________________ put things into motion. (Forces)
2. Forces are when something is __________________ or __________________. (Pushed or
pulled)
3. When the scooter is put on the air track, what happen when he puts it on there &
let’s go? (It doesn’t move)
4. What does it take for it to move? (Him to push on it or another abject to push on it,
like another scooter).
5. If there was enough track and enough air, the scooters would keep on scooting
_______________________ - there would be nothing to slow them down. (Forever)
6. When an object is at rest, or sitting still, it __________________ sitting still unless acted
on by an ______________________ force. Something that is moving will keep
______________________ unless acted on by an outside ______________________.
(stays, outside, moving, force)
7. This is true of ___________________ you can touch & see. _______________________ is
a property of matter. (everything, Inertia)
8. Which ball is harder to move? (The bowling ball – the bigger one)
9. We call this property of matter _______________________.(inertia)
10. The anvil has a _____________ or inertia and it is being acted on the outside force of
________________________. (lot, gravity)
11. It is also being acted on by another outside force – the pull of the
____________________. (chain)
12. The air is pushing ___________ on the anvil while gravity is pulling ______________ on it
– they are in _____________________ so it keeps its state of motion. (up, down,
balance)
13. Because it has a lot of inertia, its takes a ____________ push to get it moving – to
change its state of motion. (big)
14. Why does the quarter fall into the glass? The quarter has ______________________ it’s not moving so it stays at ______________________. The card slides out so easily, it
doesn’t ________________________ the quarter’s inertia so the quarter
_________________ put. Once the card is gone, there is nothing _________________
the quarter up so it falls into the glass. (inertia, rest, overcome, stays, holding)
15. Whether something is moving or staying still, everything has __________________.
(inertia)
16. Newton’s Laws of _____________________. (Motion)
17. 1st - Law of __________________ – things at _________________ stay at rest; things in
___________________ stay in motion unless acted on by an outside
____________________ (Inertia, rest, motion, force)
18. 2nd Law – To move a ____________________ you need a _____________________ (push
or pull). (Mass, force)
19. __________ = _______________ * _________________ - F=ma (Force = mass times
acceleration)
20. To get the same mass to have twice as much acceleration, you need
____________________________ as much force. (twice)
21. 3rd law – for every ____________________, there is an equal and opposite
__________________. (action, reaction)
22. To have motion, takes _________________________ - you got to either
_________________ or _______________________. (motion, push, pull)
23. The scale measures the pull of _________________________ on the apple’s mass.
(gravity)
24. When the plane descends & the apple is falling at the same speed as gravity
makes it fall, the scale reads ____________________ because they are weightless
.(zero)
25. When the plane pulls up, the scale reads _______________________ because the
plane is ______________________ the apple up against the pull of gravity. (higher,
pulling)
26. Mass is measured in _________________ or kilograms, so the apply may be weightless
but it is not ______________________. (grams, mass-less)
27. In space, do the laws of motion still apply? (Yes!)
28. Why didn’t the plates fall to the floor when the tablecloth is pulled out from under
them? (Because it is moved so quickly, it can’t act upon them so they stay at rest.)
29. The more the _________________________, the more _____________________ you
need. (mass, force)
