Vocabulary
Newton's 1st Law
Constant Velocity
Vector Quantity
Newton's 2nd Law
Force (include units)
Mass (include units)
Acceleration (include units)
Proportional
Weight

Questions
1. Explain how Newton's 2nd Law relates to Newton's First Law.
2. Explain what the variables "F," "m," and "a" represent in the formula F=ma
3. Draw and explain the brick example starting at 1:25
4. Explain the difference between mass and weight.
5. What unit is a Newton equal to?
6. Why is it important that the newton is equal to kg*m/s^2?
7. If you exert a 10N force on an object that has a mass of 2kg, what is the acceleration? (use the formula F=ma to calculate this)
8. If we double the mass of the object in problem #7 to 4kg, and use 20N of force to push it, what is the new acceleration?
9. (not from the video) Calculate the force needed to accelerate a 100 kg mass at 5 m/s^2

Objectives

1. By the end of the period, students will USE TEXT EVIDENCE to explain how forces affect objects with different masses by coming up with the best answers to the 3 prepped response questions with their group, AND correctly state how the motion of the pod would be affected by the number of samples on board in two scenarios by completing group questions with a 3 or better according to the success criteria.

IF YOU FINISH EARLY YOU MAY:
1. Watch this episode of Myth Busters  and answer the following questions in CORNELL NOTE FORMAT about it to get EXTRA CREDIT (raise 1 weighted grade by 1 letter grade)

Questions:
1) What is the problem the episode is trying to solve?
2) What were the fans so mad about?
3) How does this relate to motion?
