100
The equation used to calculate speed.
What is speed = distance/time
100
"An object in motion stays in motion unless acted on by an outside force."
What is Newton's First Law
100
Energy of motion
What is kinetic energy
100
A list of the six simple machines.
What is screw, wedge, pulley, lever, inclined plane, wheel & axle
100
A push or a pull
What is a force
200
This is needed to compare the location of an object to in order to describe its motion.
What is reference point
200
Force between two objects in contact with one another.
What is friction
200
Stored energy
What is potential energy
200
A wheel and axle with a rope around it. Assists in lifting objects.
What is a pulley
200
The force that slows down a ball thrown through the air.
What is air resistance
300
The type of line on a graph used to describe stopped motion.
What is flat line
300
Force holding the moon around the Earth
What is gravity
300
The location on a roller coaster with the greatest potential energy.
What is the highest point, the top
300
An inclined plane wrapped around a shaft. Helps to hold things together.
What is a screw
300
It is a simple machine used to separate things.
What is wedge
400
An ant crawls 5 meters in 60 seconds. This is the speed of the ant.
What is 12 meters/second
400
"F = ma, the harder you push something the faster it is going to move, heavier objects need a greater force to get moving."
What is Newton's Second Law
400
The type of energy you are gaining as you speed up.
What is kinetic energy
400
None of this is happening if nothing is moving, no matter how hard you try.
What is work
400
On a ramp, or a hill, it is the location with the most kinetic energy.
What is the bottom.
500
A car drives for 10 hours. In those 10 hours it traveled 400 miles. This is the car's average speed.
What is 40 miles/hour
500
"For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction."
What is Newton's Third Law
500
The type of energy you are gaining if you are slowing down.
What is potential energy
500
Helps objects be moved from a lower level to a higher level. The object travels farther but uses less force.
What is an inclined plane
500
A simple machine that is a bar that pivots around a fixed point.
What is a lever
