4. The amount of matter in an object is called? a. Weight b. Mass c. stuff

5. What do you call a force that gravity exerts on an object’s mass? a. Magnetism b. Friction c. Weight

6. What is a force that acts to pull pairs of objects together? a. Gravity b. Magnetism c. electricity

7. The tendency for an object to stay in motion or to stay at rest is called? a. acceleration b. friction c. inertia

8. Which picture shows magnetic attraction? a. b.

9. Click on the picture that shows magnetic repulsion.

10. Is magnetism a contact or non-contact force?

11. Pushes and pulls that result from direct touching of objects are called? a. contact forces b. non-contact forces

12. A push, pull or turn is called? a. a force b. friction c. a new dance move

13. What is the formula for speed and what do you call speed in a certain direction? a. Time ÷ distance / velocity b. Distance ÷ time / newtons c. Distance ÷ time / velocity

14. Friction caused by molecules in the air is called? a. sliding friction b. rolling friction c. air resistance

15. A force that resists movement of one surface past another surface is called? a. gravity b. friction c. magnetism

16. What do you call a change in velocity? a. speed b. acceleration c. melocity

17. The greater the mass, the greater the force needed to accelerate the object. This is Newton’s a. First Law b. Second Law c. Third Law

18. An object in motion stays in motion, an object at rest stays at rest unless acted upon by an outside force. This is Newton’s a. First Law b. Second Law c. Third Law

19. For every action, there is an opposite and equal reaction. This is Newton’s a. First Law b. Second Law c. Third Law

20. Forces are measured in….. a. Meters b. Grams c. Newtons

21.  B. Mass

22.  C. Weight

23. A. gravity

24.  B. Opposite poles attract

25. C. inertia This is Newton’s First Law of Motion

26. Oops! Wrong Answer Try again!

27. You got it! Like poles repel each other.

28. Non-contact

29. Contact Forces Example:

30. A force (of course!)

31. c. Distance ÷time = speed velocity is speed in a certain direction

32. Air resistance

33. Important uses of friction: a. Walking – you couldn’t walk without friction between your shoes and the ground. b. Writing – you couldn’t hold a pencil without friction. c. Driving a car – you couldn’t move without friction between the tires and the road. Problems from friction: a. Makes movement difficult. b. Wastes energy – in a vehicle - excess friction means extra fuel is needed. c. Wears things out – machines with moving parts can wear out due to friction. Lubrication such as oil can reduce friction.

34. Newton’s Second Law of Motion Force = mass x acceleration

35. Newton’s First Law of Motion Also known as the Law of Inertia

36. Newton’s Third Law of Motion

37. Newtons

38. Acceleration
