What is the formula for calculating speed?

Speed = Distance / Time

100

What units do we use when measuring force?

Newtons (N)

100

True/False: Once a nonrenewable resource has been used up, it is gone forever.

False

Nonrenewable energy resources take millions of years to naturally form, therefore they will take a very long time to be replaced but will eventually come back.

100

______________ is the length and direction of a straight line connecting starting point to end point.

Displacement is the length and direction of a straight line connecting starting point to end point.

100

How do you know if the net force of an object is balanced or unbalanced.

Balanced forces will have a net force equal to 0.


Unbalanced forces will have a net force not equal to 0.

200

What does a flat, horizontal line represent on a distance-time graph?

Object is at rest

200

What does gravity equal here on Earth?

9.8 m/s2

200

What two factors effect an object's kinetic energy?

Mass and Velocity

200

Force of attraction between any two objects with mass is known as ___________.

Force of attraction between any two objects with mass is known as Gravity.

200

Which region are most of the world's oil supplies located?

Middle East

300

What does it mean if an object's acceleration is negative?

Object is slowing down

300

Which law of motion tells us that as an object's mass increases, acceleration will decrease; while if force increases, acceleration will increase?

Newton's 2nd Law of Motion

300

Which form of energy travels in waves, having some electrical and some magnetic properties?

This form of energy is also known as "light" energy.

Electromagnetic Energy

300

______________ is the change in speed divided by time.

Acceleration

300

Name 3 out of the 6 forms of energy.

(Hint: Do NOT say "kinetic" or "potential")

Mechanical

Chemical

Electromagnetic

Nuclear

Electrical

Thermal

400

When will an object's displacement be equal to 0?

When its end point is the same as its starting point

400

What are the 4 main types of friction?

sliding friction

rolling friction

static friction

fluid friction

400

Name 3 examples of Renewable Energy Resources

- Solar Energy

- Wind Energy

- Hydroelectric Energy

- Geothermal Energy

- Biomass

- Nuclear Fusion

400

________ energy is energy stored due to an object's position or shape.

Potential energy is energy stored due to an object's position or shape.

400

What energy transformation takes place when you use a microwave to heat your food?

A) Thermal -> Electrical -> chemical

B) Electrical -> Electromagnetic -> Thermal

C) Electrical -> Mechanical -> Thermal

D) Mechanical -> Nuclear -> Thermal

B) Electrical -> Electromagnetic -> Thermal


Electrical Energy from microwaved being powered on when plugged in

Electromagnetic Energy in the "microwaves" that pulse through your food as waves

This changes to thermal energy as your food heats.

An object moves 50 miles north, stops, then travels 20 miles south.

1) What is the object's distance?

2) What is the object's displacement? 

(don't forget to include direction)

1) What is the object's distance?

50 mi + 20 mi = 70 mi

2) What is the object's displacement? 

(don't forget to include direction)

30 mi North

John pulls on a rope to the right with 40 N of force, Bill and Adam pull on the rope to the left. Bill pulls with 20 N and Adam pulls with 18 N.

What is the net force on the rope? What direction will it move?

40 N - (20 N + 18 N)

40 N - 38 N = 2 N Right

500

A 10 kg object rolls at a speed of 3 m/s. 

Calculate the Kinetic Energy of the object.

**KE=1/2 mv2

KE = (0.5) x (10 kg) x (3 m/s)2

KE = 5 kg x 9 m/s

KE = 45 J

500

_________ __________ is the constant speed of a falling object that occurs when the force of gravity and air resistance are equal.

Terminal Velocity is the constant speed of a falling object that occurs when the force of gravity and air resistance are equal.
