Describe all 3 of Newton's Laws
1st- object at rest will remain at rest or an object in motion will remain in motion unless acted on by a force. 2nd- Force = Mass * acceleration 3rd- Every action has an opposite & equal reaction.

Acceleration is rate of change of __________.
velocity

According to the question below, what are you solving for? what must you convert before you solve? How do you convert that? solve the problem An automobile travels 50m/sec for 2 minutes. The car has traveled ________?
distance, Minutes to seconds Multiply 60 sec by 2 mins (120 sec in 2 min) D= S*T; D= 50*120; D=6,000meters

After traveling a distance of 30m in 8s at a constant speed, Michael sees a truck starting to cross in front of him,. He accelerates to a stop at a rate of -1.88m/s2. How much time does it take Michael to stop? Round to the nearest whole number.
2seconds S=d/t ; S= 30m/8s; S= 3.75m/s A=V2-V1/T ; A= -1.88m/s2 ; V1 = -3.75; V2=0; T=Unknown -.188m/s2=(0-3.75)/X X=(-3.75/-1.88)= 1.99~2sec

Identify the control group, constant, independent variable, and dependent variable in the following experiment. Mr. Krabbs wants to make Bikini Bottom a nicer place to live. He has created a new sauce that he thinks will reduce the production of body gas associated with eating crabby patties from the Krusty Krab. He recruits 100 customers with a history of gas problems. He has 50 of them (Group A) eat crabby patties with the new sauce. The other 50 (Group B) eat crabby patties with sauce that looks just like new sauce but is really just mixture of mayonnaise and food coloring. Both groups were told that they were getting the sauce that would reduce gas production. Two hours after eating the crabby patties, 30 customers in group A reported having fewer gas problems and 8 customers in group B reported having fewer gas problems.
control- Group B (no special sauce) constant- History of gas problems, Independent Variable- Special Sauce Dependent Variable - Production of body gas

Explain, how you would calculate how many seconds are in 2 years.
Determine how many second are in 1 hour. Multiply that number by how 24 hours to find how many seconds are in a day. Multiply that number by 365 to determine how many seconds are in a year. Multiply that number by 2 to determine how many seconds are in 2 years.
