- Define mechanics: The study of motion
- State Newton's first law of motion: If an object is moving, it will keep moving. If an object is still, it will remain still.
- What is another name for Newton's first law?: The law of inertia.
- Define mass and acceleration: Mass is how much substance an object has, and acceleration is any change in the motion of an object.
- State Newton's second law of motion: The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the force applied to the object and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.
- What is another name for Newton's second law of motion?: The law of acceleration.
- Explain directly proportional and inversely proportional: If two measurements are directly proportional, than when one increases the other increases too. If two measurements are inversely proportional, then when one increases the other decreases.
- Write the law if acceleration in simple equation form: acceleration = force/mass
- Write Newton's second law of motion as force = ?: Force = mass x acceleration.
- State Newton's third law of motion: For every action, there is a equal reaction.
