This one of Newton's Laws is also called "The Law of Inertia"

What is the First Law?

100

THIS is the difference between speed and velocity.

What is speed measures distance traveled over time (how fast something is traveling), while velocity includes speed PLUS direction?

100

A force would cause an object's motion to do THIS.

What is speed up, slow down, or change direction?

100

Will lifts a 100kg barbell to a height of of 2m.  THIS is how much work he did. 

What is 200J?

100

HE is Dennis.

Who is Tom's cute dog?

200

According to Newton's First Law, an object in motion will keep doing THIS (include everything for full credit...).

What is "continue moving in a straight line at a constant speed (at a constant velocity) until acted upon by an unbalancing force"?

Curtis is at home, minding his own business and riding his tricycle around and around in circles at a constant speed of 2 m/s.  Suddenly, Noah zips by on his fancy new dirt bike at a constant velocity of 30 m/s.  THIS one had the greater acceleration.

Who is Curtis on his tricycle?

200

When Chef Callan, who has a mass of 100kg, accelerates at 3 m/s^2, we know that he is being acted on by THIS force.

What is 300N?

200

According to the Law of Conservation of Energy, the amount of work put into a system is equal to THIS.

What is the amount of work that comes out of a system?

200

Families in Scotland, such as the MacIntoshes, the Stuarts, the Buchanans, and the Campbells, wear kilts bearing unique ones of THESE that are unique to their families.

What are plaids (or tartans)?

300

Newton's Second Law predicts that increasing a force on an object will do THIS to its acceleration.

What is increase?

300

If you are riding on a moving train, and you walk to the front at a speed of 1 m/s, the train itself serves as THIS. 

What is your frame of reference?

300

When Svea is driving alone, her new Camaro has a top acceleration of 20m/s^2.  If she stops to pick up 3 of her rather hefty friends, her car would not reach the same acceleration because of THIS.

What is according to Newton's Second Law, increasing the mass decreases the acceleration.

300

Sunshine is excited about her brand-new crank-operated chainsaw!  However, when she uses it and puts in 300J of work, she only gets 200J output because 100J of work is lost to THIS.

What is friction?

300

SHE is also known by the trail name "Scrapple".

Who is Nora?

The DAILY DOUBLE!  

When a force of 100N acts on an object with a mass of 5 Kg, THIS is its acceleration.

What is 20 m/s^2?

400

Acceleration includes THESE three things.

What are speeding up, slowing down, or changing direction?

400

Gilvey and Bauer exert a force of 100N on their new Archimedes Claw which has a Mechanical Advantage of 10.  Because of the machine's MA, THIS would be the output force.

What is 1000N?

400
For his birthday, Cyrus got a brand new lever! Yay!  He tried it out and discovered that when he pushed on end down 5m, the other end went up 1m.  THIS is the mechanical advantage of Cyrus's new lever.

What is 5?

400

HE is Larry.

What is the lava lamp?

While on a leisurely space walk, Astronaut Commander Emma comes upon a lovely 500kg anvil floating in outer space.  In a fit of pique, Astronaut Commander punches the anvil with a force of 1000N.  According to Newton's Third Law, the anvil does THIS.

What is hit her fist back with an equal and opposite force of 1000N.

500

Bella launches a bottle rocket, which goes from zero to 20m/s in 2 seconds. THIS is the rocket's acceleration.

What is 10m/s^2?

500

THE DAILY DOUBLE!

A machine is a device that can do several important things.  THESE are TWO of those things.

What is:

Increase force

Decrease force

Change direction of a force

Increase distance a force acts

Decrease distance a force acts

500

THE DAILY DOUBLE!

THESE are the 6 simple machines.

What are wedge, inclined plane, screw, lever, pulley and wheel and axle.
