Forces, Acceleration, and Mass
During High School, Coach Martinez tried out for the track team. He wanted to see how fast he could run one lap around the track. One lap around the track is 400 meters. It took him a time of 50 seconds to get around the track. What was Coach Martinez average speed around the track?
What is 8m/s
Speed= Distance / Time
There are many layers that make up the Earth, and there is some overlap of those layers. Which two layers make up the mantle?
What is the Asthenosphere and Lithosphere
Which law of motion says that a body at rest will remain at rest, and a body in motion will remain in motion unless it is acted upon by an external force?
What is Newton's first law.
This system consists of the Sun, eight planets, satellites of the planets, and a large number of asteroids, comets, meteors and other interplanetary masses.
What is the Solar System
Jenifer just bought a new car for her 18th birthday. The car salesman tell her that the car produces a force of 2400N while weighting about 1200 Kg. What would be the acceleration of the car?
What is 2m/s
Acceleration = Force / Mass
This layer is the top layer of the earth and also the thinnest
What is The Crust
What is the difference between a theory and a hypothesis?
A theory is based on evidence and well established, and a hypothesis is an educated guess about what you expect to happen.
This planet is known for the god of commerce, travel, and thievery. It is the first planet from the sun.
What is mercury
Jamie has a dirt bike that accelerates at 8m/s. If the dirt bike has a force of 480N, what is the mass of the dirtbike?
What is 60kg
Mass = Force / Acceleration

What is Jupiter
Jamie has a dirtbike that accelerates at 8m/s. If the dirt bike has a mass of 900 kg, how much force does the dirtbike produce?
What is 7,200 N
Force= Mass x Acceleration
