Mechanics Problems
An object travels 60 meters in 5 seconds. This is its average speed.
12 m/s
This physicist is famous for developing the three laws of motion
Isaac Newton
This green animated ogre became an internet meme and stars in a DreamWorks movie franchise.
Shrek
This is the approximate speed of light in a vacuum.
3x10^8 m/s
This galaxy is bound to collide with ours.
Andromeda Galaxy
A solid disk and a hoop roll without slipping down the same ramp from rest at the same height. This object reaches the bottom first.
This scientist developed the theory of special and general relativity.
Albert Einstein
This singer is known for the hit album SOS.
SZA
According to Einstein, gravity is explained as the curvature of this
Spacetime
This process allows stars to produce energy by combining hydrogen nuclei into helium.
Nuclear fusion
This quantity is conserved in an isolated system during a collision.
Momentum
This physicist discovered the relationship between electricity and magnetism
Michael Faraday
This HBO series follows a wealthy family fighting over control of a media empire.
Succession
This phenomenon occurs when a moving clock appears to run slower compared to a stationary observer's clock.
Time dilation
This law states that a planet sweeps out equal areas in equal intervals of time.
Keplers second law
A ball is thrown straight upward. At its highest point, its velocity is this, but its acceleration is still approximately 9.8 m/s² downward.
0 m/s
This physicist is known for her pioneering research on radioactivity and became the first woman to win a Nobel Prize.
Marie Curie
This director created the films The Grand Budapest Hotel and Fantastic Mr. Fox.
Wes Anderson
If a spaceship travels at 0.8c, its Lorentz factor is approximately this.
1.67
This phenomenon occurs when a massive object bends the light traveling around it due to gravity.
Gravitational lensing
A 2 kg object moves at 4 m/s. If its speed doubles, its kinetic energy increases by this factor.
4
This physicist developed the uncertainty principle, which states that certain pairs of physical properties cannot both be known with arbitrary precision.
Werner Heisenberg
This filmmaker directed Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill, and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
Quentin Tarantino
According to special relativity, an object moving close to the speed of light appears shorter in the direction of motion. What is this phenomenon called?
Length contract
This is the approximate minimum mass a star needs to become a black hole after its core collapses, although the actual threshold depends on stellar evolution.
20-25 solar masses
