Clue: What phrase do trick-or-treaters say at the door?
“Trick or treat!”
Use the four equations below to choose the best equation for each clue:
v=v₀+at
Δ x=v₀t+1/2at²
v²=v₀²+2aΔ x
Δ x=1/2(v₀+v)t
100 points
Clue: Find the final velocity.
Knowns: v₀=2 m/s, a=3 m/s², t=4 s
Unknown: v
Equation chosen: v=v₀+at
Worked solution: v=2+(3)(4)=14 m/s
How many boroughs are there?
Five.
Evaluate 6+3×4.
6+3×4=6+12=18
What type of pet does he have?
Bearded Dragon named Draco
Which vegetable became the U.S. jack-o’-lantern?
Pumpkins
Clue: A cart accelerates. How far does it travel?
Knowns: v₀=0 m/s, a=2 m/s², t=5 s
Unknown: Δ x
Equation chosen: Δ x=v₀t+1/2at²
Worked solution: Δ x=(0)(5)+1/2(2)(5²)=25 m
Where does the S.I Ferry in Manhattan take you?
Staten Island
Evaluate 2x²-3 when x=4.
2(4²)-3=2(16)-3=29
When did he start teaching?
This is now my official 2nd year!
In the animated film The Nightmare Before Christmas, what is the name of Halloween Town's Pumpkin King?
Jack Skellington.
Clue: Find the acceleration.
Knowns: v₀=4 m/s, v=16 m/s, Δ x=60 m
Unknown: a
Equation chosen: v²=v₀²+2aΔ x
Worked solution: a=(16²-4²)/(2(60))=2 m/s²
Which bridge connects Manhattan and Brooklyn?
The Brooklyn Bridge.
Solve 3x-7=14.
3x=21, so x=7.
How many degrees does Mr. T have?
I have Three and aiming for more!
An Associate’s in Biology,
a BA in Physics, and
a BS in Education.
In the animated film Hotel Transylvania, what is the name of Dracula's teenage daughter?
Mavis.
Clue: Find the time.
Knowns: v₀=6 m/s, v=18 m/s, Δ x=72 m
Unknown: t
Equation chosen: Δ x=1/2(v₀+v)t
Worked solution: t=(2(72))/(6+18)=6 s
What was New York City called under Dutch rule?
New Amsterdam.
Solve 5x-8=2x+13.
3x=21, so x=7.
Where does Mr. T want to go after his teacher arc?
I wanna move to the astronomy field with NASA/SpaceX
In the animated film Coraline, what do the Other Mother and her world's people have in place of eyes?
Buttons
Clue: A vehicle brakes to a stop. Find its braking distance.
Knowns: v₀=24 m/s, v=0 m/s, a=-6 m/s²
Unknown: Δ x
Equation chosen: v²=v₀²+2aΔ x
Worked solution: Δ x=(0²-24²)/(2(-6))=48 m
Which borough has the Coney Island?
Solve (x-2)/3+2(x+1)=8.
Multiply both sides by 3: x-2+6(x+1)=24. Combine like terms: 7x+4=24. Then 7x=20, so x=(20)/7.
