Aristotle classified motion into two kinds:

 

1.     ______________ motion = motion back to an object’s natural place. 

 

2.     ______________ motion = man-made motion.

 

The motion of the heavens was different.  Aristotle called it __________________  motion. 

 

Aristotle said everything was made up of ________  ________________:

1.

 

2.

 

3.

 

4.

 

____________________ was the first to conclude the Earth is not the ____________  of the ________________. 

 

 

________________ said you could ____________________ an experiment by looking at just the main idea. 

 

Galileo also said that when you roll a ball down one incline, it will roll up another incline to ____________ the same ____________. 

 

The difference in height he attributed to ________________. 

 

Expanding on this idea, Galileo said if the ball did not roll up another incline but onto a perfectly horizontal surface, it will just roll ______________. 

 

This means that you need ____  __________ to keep something moving!

 

 

R________  D________________ actually coined the word ______________.  He liked to ask, “What if you could turn off ______________?”

 

Newton wrote the __________________, which was the first ______________  ________. 

In it, he included _____ laws of motion. 

 

They are:

1.     Law of ______________

Bodies at ________ tend to stay at ________. 

Bodies in ____________ tend to stay in ____________.

 

These rules hold unless an ______________  __________ acts upon the body. 

 

Basically, this says f____________ change v___________________ (cause a________________________).

 

 

2.     Law of ________________________

Acceleration is ____________________ proportional to mass and ____________________ proportional to __________. 

 

This can be ______________ly stated as :

 

 

 

 

 


 

Basically, this says the ________  __________ as the Law of Inertia.  The Law of Acceleration is qu____________________  while the Law of Inertia is qu____________________.

 

 

3.     Law of __________  __________

For every ____________, there is an __________  and ________________  ________________. 

 

This means, forces always come in __________. 

 

A force = a ________ or a ________

 

A force also = an ______________________ between two objects

 

Mass is a ______________________ property of an object.  We say this because it does not depend on the object’s ______________________.

 

Weight is different.  Weight is the ____________ of ______________ on an object. 

 

Weight depends on _____________, but ________ is independent of ________________. 

 

Volume is different still.  Volume is the amount of __________ an object takes up. 

 

An example of something with big mass but small volume is:

 

An example of something with small mass but big volume is:

 

The net force is the ______ force an object __________.  It is the r__________________ of all the forces on the object.

 

 

If mass = 10. kg and net force = 35 N, the acceleration = _______________.

 

 

 

 

 

 

______________ is a force that ______________ motion.

 

The three kinds of friction are:

1.

2.

3.

 

 

 

__________________  of  _______________ is the number that describes the roughness or smoothness of a surface.

 

Rough surfaces have µ’s closer to __________.

 

Smooth surfaces have µ’s closer to __________.

 

There are two kinds of sliding friction:

1. 

2. 

 

Kinetic friction will be _______  ________ or equal to static friction, because it’s easier to _________ something moving than to __________ something moving.

 

 

Sliding friction also depends on ______________  __________ , as seen in the equation:

Text Box:  
f =

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


 

________________ is the concentration of force. 

 

Pressure is dependant on ______________  ________ and force, as you can see from the equation:

Text Box:  
 
 
 
Pressure =

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


 

Pressure is measured in ___________, which is really a nickname for _______________ per ____________   ___________.

 

All objects free-fall the same because they have equal f____________ to m_______ ratios. 

 

Air resistance changes the a_____________________ of a falling object.

 

When air resistance = ____________, we get _______________  ______________, during which acceleration = ________
