Force and Motion - Free Printable

Problem Analysis:

The task requires matching descriptions, examples, or definitions with the correct terms. Each term is used twice in the matching. The terms provided are:

- A: force
- B: friction
- C: Isaac Newton
- D: motion
- E: Newton’s 1st Law
- F: Newton’s 2nd Law
- G: Newton’s 3rd Law
- H: position
- I: speed

We need to carefully analyze each description and match it with the appropriate term.

Solution:

#### Step 1: Match the descriptions with the correct terms

1. Famous mathematician responsible for Laws of Motion.
- This is Isaac Newton.
- Match: C (Isaac Newton)

2. Law: Force acting on an object will change its velocity...
- This describes Newton's 2nd Law, which states that force equals mass times acceleration (\( F = ma \)).
- Match: F (Newton’s 2nd Law)

3. It is how fast an object or person moves.
- This is the definition of speed.
- Match: I (speed)

4. Law: For every force/action, opposite and equal force/action.
- This describes Newton's 3rd Law, which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
- Match: G (Newton’s 3rd Law)

5. Push or pull of an object.
- This is the definition of force.
- Match: A (force)

6. Place where a person or object is located.
- This is the definition of position.
- Match: H (position)

7. Movement from one place to another.
- This is the definition of motion.
- Match: D (motion)

8. Force acts on another force to slow or stop it.
- This refers to friction, which opposes motion and can slow or stop an object.
- Match: B (friction)

9. Example of this law is a tow truck pulling a car.
- This example illustrates Newton's 2nd Law, as the tow truck applies a force to accelerate the car.
- Match: F (Newton’s 2nd Law)

10. The football player kicking the football is this law in action.
- This example illustrates Newton's 3rd Law, as the player exerts a force on the ball, and the ball exerts an equal and opposite force on the player.
- Match: G (Newton’s 3rd Law)

11. This is needed to get something to move.
- To initiate motion, a force is required.
- Match: A (force)

12. Law: A body in motion/at rest, stays that way unless acted on...
- This describes Newton's 1st Law, also known as the law of inertia.
- Match: E (Newton’s 1st Law)

13. Can occur up and down, right to left, in circle, or zig-zags.
- This describes different types of motion.
- Match: D (motion)

14. He saw an apple fall from a tree, thought about the Moon/planets.
- This refers to Isaac Newton, who formulated the laws of motion and universal gravitation after observing an apple falling.
- Match: C (Isaac Newton)

15. In the air or on the ground are examples of this.
- This refers to the position of an object.
- Match: H (position)

16. This can be fast, slow, or in between.
- This refers to speed, which can vary.
- Match: I (speed)

17. This will cause movement to become more difficult.
- Friction opposes motion and makes it harder for objects to move.
- Match: B (friction)

18. Law says a roller coaster ride will force your body against the seat.
- This refers to Newton's 1st Law, as your body tends to stay in motion or at rest unless acted upon by an external force (e.g., the seat pushing you).
- Match: E (Newton’s 1st Law)
