100
The law that states an object in motion tends to stay in motion, and an object at rest tends to stay at rest.
What is Newton's First Law (The Law of Inertia)?
100
The term for a push or pull on an object, calculated by multiplying its mass x acceleration.
What is Force?
100
The one quality something must possess in order to be affected by gravity.
What is mass?
100
The law that states the amount of energy in a system before a change is equal to the amount of energy in the system after a change.
What is the Law of Conservation of Energy?
100
The name for energy that is in its stored state.
What is potential energy?
200
The Law that states that the increase or decrease in an object's speed is directly proportionate to the Net Force acting on an object, and inversely proportionate to the object's mass.
What is Newton's Second Law (The Law of Acceleration)?
200
The term for the rate of motion, as calculated by dividing distance by time.
What is velocity?
200
The two variables that contribute to the strength of one object's gravitational pull on another.
What are mass and distance?
200
An example of a form of energy produced from kinetic energy during a collision between objectes.
What is sound?
What is thermal energy?
200
The name for energy that is in its active state.
What is kinetic energy?
300
The law that states that every force has an equal and opposite force, typically between two different objects.
What is Newton's Third Law (The Law of Action-Reaction)?
300
The term for the quantity of motion an object possesses, as calculated by multiplying mass x velocity.
What is momentum?
300
The resulting amount of gravitational pull between two objects of equal mass that are pushed farther apart from one another.
What is decreased pull?
300
An obvious change to an object's motion if it is hit from behind by an object moving with more momentum traveling the same direction.
What is speeding up?
300
The point on a roller coaster that must be highest in order for a cart to make it unassisted through the track.
What is the beginning?
400
The net force (with direction) of a tug of war match where the left team pulls with 287N of force, and the right team pulls with 351N of force.
What is 64N to the right?
400
The increase or decrease in rate of motion, as calculated by dividing Force / Mass.
What is acceleration?
400
The resulting gravitational pull between two objects if one object's mass is tripled.
What is increased gravitational pull?
400
An obvious change to an object's movement if it is hit head on by an object moving with less momentum.
What is slowing down?
400
The order of the Moon, Sun, and Earth from most massive to least massive.
What is the sun, the Earth, and the moon?
500
The net force (with direction) of an object that is being pulled by gravity with 115N of force, being pushed by the Normal Force for 115N of force, being propelled by a motor with 655N of force, and being pushed by friction with 219N of force.
What is 436N of force in the direction of propulsion?
500
The term for the sum of all acting forces on an object, as calculated by adding all forces, respective of direction, together.
What is the Net Force?
500
The two things that must be true for one object to orbit another.
What are one object's gravitational pull being stronger than the other, and the lesser object having a direction of motion not directed toward the greater mass? (Orbiting object is less massive and is moving away from large mass).
500
The resulting change to a basketball if it is rolled with higher momentum toward a beach ball traveling with less momentum in the same direction.
What is slowing down / deceleration?
500
Mr. Sheridan's favorite holiday.
What is Halloween?
