Kinetic Friction

What is friction that opposes motion once the motion has already started?

900

He developed a new math called calculus, did the famous prism experiment, and discovered the 3 laws of motion.

Who is Sir Isaac Newton?

900
Newton's First Law
What is an object in motion or at rest tends to stay in motion or at rest unless acted upon by an outside force?
900

Newton's 2nd Law

What is when an object is acted on by one or more unbalanced forces, the total force is equal to the mass of the object times the resulting acceleration. (TF = mass x acceleration)

900
Newton's 3rd Law
What is for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction?
1000

Static Friction

What is friction that opposes the initiation of motion?

1000

DAILY DOUBLE!!! He believed that objects at rest want to stay at rest, and this is why everything in motion eventually slows down and stops.

Who is Aristotle?

1000

In one of our experiments, the marble rolled straight away from the pie tin when it came to the cut out section because of this.

There were no more walls to keep the marble rolling in a circle.

1000

DAILY DOUBLE!!! The sum of all the forces acting on an object.

What is net force or total force?

1000
A child pushes against a St. Bernard dog, trying to move him. The dog remains stubbornly unmoved. Something exerts the equal and opposite force which Newton's 3rd Law of Motion says must happen in response to the child's push.
What is the St. Bernard dog.
1100

The motion of an object when it is falling solely under the influence of gravity.

What is free fall?

1100

The three scientists who were eventually able to change scientific thought about certain things & dispose of many of Aristotle's mistakes.

Who are Galileo, Copernicus, & Kepler?

1100

DAILY DOUBLE!!! A person jumping from an airplane & wishing to land on a hill cleared of trees will jump out of the plane before he can even see the hill, as they are approaching the hill, or when they are directly over the hill.

What is "as they are approaching the hill".

1100

A box is moving at a constant velocity, it is neither speeding up nor slowing down. What is it's rate of acceleration?

What is 0?

DAILY DOUBLE!!! There is an action & reaction force when a little girl jumps on a trampoline. Explain 

A. Which is the action force &

B. Which is the reaction force.

A. What is little girl?  B. What is the trampoline?

1200

DAILY DOUBLE!!!! Force

What is a push or pull that acts on an object?

1200
He believed that by studying science, he was actually learning about God.
Who is Sir Isaac Newton?
1200
The problem with Aristotle's thinking with the penny sliding with the card as it was pulled across the glass jar.
What is objects at rest want to stay at rest, so since no force was acting on the penny, it should have stayed where it was and dropped into the glass jar.
1200

A vector quantity whose magnitude is usually measured in Newtons.

What is force?

1200
An ice skater stands on the ice in his skates. He is holding a ball. Assuming there is no friction, what will happen to the ice skater if he suddenly throws the ball hard to the east?
What is He will move to the west.
1300

Inertia

What is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its velocity?

1300

He lived from 1564 to 1642 and was one of the first scholars to promote doing experiments to develop scientific arguments.

Who is Galileo?

1300

In one of our experiments, this kept spinning even after it was physically stopped, due to inertia.

What is the raw egg?

kg times m over seconds squared
What is Newton?
