Teacher Trivia
100
On this type of graph, a line's slope represents an object's acceleration.
What is a velocity vs time graph?
100
When you apply force on a trampoline, and it applies the same amount of force back to make you bounce, it is an example of this law of motion.
What is Newton's 3rd law: action & reaction?
100
This is often the first step of the engineering design process, where engineers identify what needs to be solved.
What is defining the problem (defining criteria and constraints)?
100
This is a type of mechanical weathering, in which moving particles / sediments wear down rocks (in the same way that sandpaper wears down rough wood).
What is abrasion?
100
This greenhouse gas is responsible for ocean acidification
What is carbon dioxide?
100
The name of this guy
Who is Reggie?
200
The slope of this position vs time graph represents this about the object's motion.
What is the object's velocity?
200
This is how an object is moving... if the net of the forces acting on it are zero.
What is at constant velocity?
200
As distance between two objects increases, gravitational force does this.
What is decreases?
200
This is the name of the physical properties layer of the Earth that makes up the tectonic plates
What is the lithosphere
200
A warm front usually bring this type of weather.
What is steady precipitation followed by warmer temperatures?
200
Chirp chirp! This is where Mrs. Eudy went to college.
What is Ball State University?
300
Scalars have only magnitude, but vectors have these two components.
What are magnitude and direction?
300
This type of force always acts opposite to the direction of motion between two surfaces.
What is friction?
300
When an object is falling at a constant speed, it has reached this speed, which occurs when gravitational force and drag force are balanced.
What is air resistance?
300
This specific subtype of sedimentary rocks can be made from gravel, sand, silt, or clay.
What are clastic sedimentary rocks?
300
This is the lowest layer of the atmosphere, where weather occurs.
What is the troposphere?
300
Gross! This Adventure teacher HATES these invasive beetles, which look like ladybugs.
Who is Mrs. Summers?
400
An object starts at rest and accelerates uniformly. Describe the shape of its line on a velocity vs time graph.
What is a straight, diagonal line with a positive slope?
400
This is the net force on a 5 kg object accelerating at 3 m/s/s.
What is 15 newtons?
400
This factor is why drag force is greater on an open parachute than on a closed parachute.
What is surface area?
400
These geologic features form at any type of transform boundary
What are slip-strike faults?
400
These are the steady winds that blow from east to west near the equator.
What are trade winds?
400
These two Adventure teachers both love pizza with pepperoni and mushroom
Who are Mrs. Flamion and Miss K?
500
An object accelerates from 5 m/s to 25 m/s in 4 seconds. Calculate its acceleration.
What is 5 m/s/s?
500
A box is being pulled with 10 N to the right and 6 N to the left. This would be the resulting net force acting on the box.
What is a force of 4 N to the right?
500
The cyclical nature of this process allows engineers to refine and improve solutions multiple times.
What is iteration?
500
This type of plate boundary formed the mid-Atlantic ridge.
What is an oceanic-oceanic divergent boundary?
500
Ocean currents affect coastal climates by transporting this.
What is heat?
500
Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace was first released in theaters on the same night that this Adventure teacher was born.
Who is Miss K?
