___________. One of those units equals
the amount of force needed to move 1Kg of
mass 1 meter per second squared.
– (N = 1Kg x 1 m/s²).
• Answer: Newton

• The tendency of an object to resist changes
in its motion is called_________?
• Answer: Inertia
Sir Isaac

• According to Newton’s “third law of
motion,” do forces act alone or in pairs?
• Answer: Forces act in pairs. For every
“Action force,” there is an opposite and
equal “Reaction force!”

• Newton’s “first law of motion,” which
states that an object’s motion will stay the
same unless it is acted upon by other forces
is also called the “Law of _____________.”
• Answer: Inertia
Sir Isaac

• If we know that the forces acting upon an
object are balanced (Net Force = Zero),
what do we know about the object’s
motion?
• Answer: The object’s motion is staying the
same. It’s not changing. It’s not
accelerating.

• Using the formula F = m a, what force (in
Newtons [N]) is required to accelerate a 100
Kg object 2 m/s2 (meters per second, per
second)?
• Answer: 200N
Sir Isaac
Newsometon? 500
• What is needed to change the direction or
speed of an object’s motion? Or, what is
needed to get the object to accelerate?
• Answer: Unbalanced forces need to be
acting upon it. Put another way, there needs
to be a Non-Zero Net Force.

• If one van is loaded with 1 ton of lumber on its roof,
and an identical one is loaded with 1 ton of lumber
inside its cargo area, which one will be less stable
going around a traffic circle and why?
• Answer: The van loaded on its roof will be less
stable because of its higher center of mass—it has a
higher risk of rolling over.

(Multiple Choice) When one of two identical cars
is traveling twice the speed of the other, it will
take: (a, b, c, or d)
twice the distance to come to a stop
more than twice the distance to come to a stop
less than twice the distance to come to a stop

• A car is ________________ if either its
speed or direction changes.
• Answer: Accelerating
Miss Alanious 100
• In order to calculate the “speed” of an
object’s motion, what two things do we
need to know?
• Answer: Distance traveled & Time.

• Who was the British scientist that
developed the three laws of motion and
physics?
• Answer: Sir Isaac Newton
Miss Alanious 300
• If you know the distance an object has
traveled, and the amount of time it took,
what can you calculate or determine?
• Answer: The object’s speed
Miss Alanious 400
• What is the average speed of a person
driving 300 miles in 4 hours?
• Answer: 75 miles/h or 75 mph
Miss Alanious 500
• The equation for force is __________ &
what do the letters stand for?
• Answer: F=M∙A (Force = Mass x
Acceleration)
