A system of 3 dimensional coordinates that permits the location of points in space and enables mathematicians to graph and analyze complex data
What are Cartesian coordinates

Setbacks or obstacles Newton faced and overcame.
What is Premature birth, loss of father, most relatives illiterate, stepfather sent him away, poor school performance, didn't have many friends, criminal conviction, college studies interrupted by the plague, bullying
100
The change in direction or bending of a light wave as it passes from one material to another
What is refraction
100
A firefighter turns on his hose and is knocked backwards
What is Newton's 3rd law of motion
100
Measured in Kilograms
What is mass
200
The coordinates on Descartes new graph
What is (x,y,z)
200
Explained his laws and theories of gravity in 1687
What is the Principia
200
The order of a spectrum decreasing in wavelength
What is ROY G BIV- (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet
200
A bowling ball hits the pins sending the pins flying for a STRIKE!
What is Newton's 1st Law of motion
200
Weight is a force due to gravity that is represented by this unit
What is Newtons
300
Descartes also introduced these 2 mathematics ideas
What are exponents and the square root sign
300
Any force that acts on an object at right angles to its direction of motion. This discovery led to the Theory of Universal Gravitation
What is centripetal force
300
What is the absence of all color. It absorbs all wavelengths and reflects none
What is black
300
If you push a large box and a small box with the same force, the small box will go faster
What is Newton's 2nd Law of Motion
300
Gravity pull on the moon is ______ than on Earth
What is smaller
400
Famous quote stated by Descartes
What is "I think, therefore I am"
400
The difference between Newton's method of scientific study and Aristotles in regards to Universal Gravity
What is Empirical vs. Rational where Aristotle states the laws of nature are not the same throughout the universe and Newton experiments to find out that every object in the universe exerts a pull on every other object. The amount of attraction is determined by the masses of the objects and the distance between them.
400
Newton proved that this is the sum of rays of varying wavelengths,each of which produces a different color of the spectrum as it is bent or reflected through a prism
What is white light
400
A rocket defy's gravity and lifts off from it's launching pad
What is all three of Newton's laws
400
the greater the mass of an object, the greater its attraction to another object.
What is Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation
500
He believed the Universe is filled with invisible matter that swirls. These keep the stars and the planets on curved paths. He was indeed wrong though!
What is vortices or vortexes
500
Two sciences that he lays the foundation for in his book, dealing with the the motion, or lack there of in fluids.
What is hydrodynamics and hydrostatics
500
Newton devises this instrument? It has a curved mirror in place of one lense
What is a reflecting telescope
500
The overall force acting on an object that is represented on a free- body diagram
What is Net force
500
The fraction for Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation
