100
Machines help humans to do this
What is work?
100
Energy ready to be released.
What is a potential energy?
100
When you add more weight (LOAD) to your vehicle it moved this way
What is slower?
200
The description/name of the vehicle we used in the controlled experiments
What is a standard vehicle?
200
What a car did as you add more washers.
What is move faster?
200
A force that occurs when two surfaces rub together.
What is friction?
200
something that can be changed in an experiment to see if different results are achieved.
What is a variable?
200
A vehicle that is carrying a load requires more or less energy to move than a vehicle that is NOT carrying a load
What is more energy?
300
The two different ways that we have explored force and motion using our vehicles
What is push and pull?
300
Objects at rest stay at rest unless acted on by this
What is an outside force?
300
A type of friction created by the force of air on an object.
What is air resistance?
300
A push or a pull
What is force?
300
Adding MASS (wooden blocks) affects the motion of the vehicle this way (speeds up OR slows down)
What is "slows down"?
400
This helps get more accurate results (More or Less trials)
What is more trials?
400
The falling weight system uses this force which acts on the weighted string and pulls the weights toward the floor.
What is gravity?
400
In one of our lessons this caught the air and slowed down the vehicle.
What is an upright sail.
400
Energy in motion.
What is kinetic energy?
400
The amount of material in an object
What is mass?
500
The reason that we all used the standard vehicle in all our experiments
What are consistant and accurate results
500
In a falling weight system, this may cause vehicles to continue to move even after the weights have reached the floor.
What is inertia.
500
The vehicle speeds up by turning this more times around the axle.
What is a rubber band?
500
a force that exists when two objects touch or rub against each other
What is friction?
500
This is added to a vehicle to get it to more more slowly.
What is more weight?
