stored energy based-on position

200

If you are moving your inertia wants to _________

keep moving


stay at rest

200

Force = ______ X _________

Force = mass X acceleration

200

The third law states: for every action

 there is an equal and opposite reaction

What NFL team has a logo only on one side of their helmet?

Steelers

If you measure thermal energy you are measuring 

the amount of heat 

300

How are mass and inertia related?  

If mass increases inertia increases, if mass decreases then inertia decreases.

If you drop a ping pong ball and a bowling ball at the same time from the same height which will hit the ground first?

they will hit at the same time

300

Label the action and reaction if someone is swimming laps in a pool 

The stroke pushing the water backwards is the action and the water pushing the person forward is the reaction

300

What body part can dogs sweat out of?

Their paws

400

As a rock rolls faster and faster down a hill how does the type of energy change

potential to kinetic 

or

kinetic to thermal 

400
Sometimes when you are running and try to stop quickly you fall.  Explain why using the first law

Your inertial wants to keep moving you in the same direction so you lose your balance. 

400

If you drop a ping pong ball and a bowling ball at the same time from the same height will they hit with different amounts of force?  Explain

The bowling ball will hit with more force because it has more mass.  


force = mass X acceleration

400

If the action and reaction are the same strength why does one object move more than the other sometimes.

Mass, friction etc

400

In NY it is illegal to do what in an elevator?

talk

500

On a roller coaster, why does the car eventually run out of energy?

Friction converts kinetic energy to thermal energy

500

Give two real life examples of Inertia (first law).  

answers will vary

500

If you apply the same amount of force to two objects of different masses, which one will accelerate faster?

the object with less mass

500

If i let go of an inflated balloon what is the action and reaction?

the action is the air leaving the balloon


the reaction is the balloon getting pushed forwards
