An object at rest will remain at rest until acted upon by a force. This is explained as what law?
What is Newton's 1st Law of Motion?
200
This is potential energy that is turned into "work" energy.
What is kinetic?
200
Energy of "work"
What is kinetic?

The Earth is much larger than the Moon. This means that the Earth has a stronger gravitational field. What evidence do we have that the Moon is in Earth's gravitational field?
What is holds the Moon in orbit.
200
Magnets with a north and south pole (opposite polarity) together will do this.
What is attract?
200
Magnets can attract from a distance because of this.
What is magnetic field?
300
This energy produces heat.
What is thermal energy?

Three people climb a mountain. Climber 1 takes the straight route directly up, Climber 2 takes shorter but windier route and Climber 3 takes the longest winding route. Which hiker has the greatest potential energy when they reached the top?
What is all 3 have the same potential energy?
300
The key idea of gravity is an attractive force between any two masses is very small except when one of the masses is very large. What would be the strongest gravitational field in our solar system?
What is the Sun
300
Finish the sentence: The greater the distance with a magnet the
What is the weaker the magnetic force?
300
A closed _________ can be completed by connecting two wires to a power source.
What is circuit?
400
This is the energy that acts upon objects to hold them to Earth?
What is gravitational energy?

A piece of clay is drop from 4 feet to the floor. The potential energy will increase or decrease as the clay is dropped.
What is decrease?
400
Most people believe that gravity pulls things down. What would be the scientifically correct way of explaining gravity's force of attraction?
What is gravity pulls thing towards the center
400
The Earth has magnetic poles. The magnetic poles allow magnets to be pulled toward the north and south. This is why this device allows travelers to know their direction.
What is a compass?
400
Wind, water, steam and waves are all examples of kinetic energy that can be transferred to this.
What is electrical energy through generators?
500
This types of energy is prevalent in batteries.
What is chemical energy?
500
Two balls are rolled down a hill. Ball 2 is rolling faster than ball 1. Is there more or less kinetic energy in ball 2.
What is more kinetic energy?
500
Objects need to be large like planets or stars to feel a gravitational attraction. All objects will move in a straight line unless acted upon by a force. How does this explain what occurs in space?
What is why planets and moons orbit in a circle instead of just moving in a straight line?
500
A paper clip can be "temporarily" magnetized using this method.
What is paper clip chain connected to a magnet?
