A Flying Plane
Describe in terms of translation, rotation, or vibration. EXPLAIN your answer.
Translation: moves in a line from one place to another
Rotation: the propellers go around an axis point
100
The rope in a game of tug-of-war
What is tension?
100
What is Newton's First Law of Motion?
What is objects in motion will stay in motion and objects at rest will stay at rest unless acted upon by unbalanced outside forces?
100
Define relative motion.
What is the motion described from a particular reference point?
200
You lean on a wall and it pushes back with (blank) force.
What is Normal force?
200
A Spinning Top
Describe in terms of translation, rotation, or vibration. EXPLAIN your answer.
Rotation: It goes around an axis
Translation: Moves across the floor as it spins
200
Springs in a mattress
What is spring force?
200
What is Newton's Second Law of Motion?
What is an object's ability to speed up is affected by its mass and the amount of force exerted on it?
200
Explain the difference between a contact force and a non-contact force.
Contact Force: a push or pull of one object on another through direct contact
Non-Contact Force: A push or pull on an object without direct touch
300
The force in the string as you fly a kite is an example of (blank).
What is tension?
300
Cymbal as it is struck
Describe in terms of translation, rotation, or vibration. EXPLAIN your answer.
Vibration: the cymbal quivers back and forth when struck
300
The floor under our feet
What is normal force?
300
What is Newton's Third Law of Motion?
What is for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction?
300
Electricity, Magnetism and (blank) are non-contact forces.
What is gravity?
400
A spinning fan is an example of (blank).
What is rotation?
400
Mixer’s spinning beaters
Describe in terms of translation, rotation, or vibration. EXPLAIN your answer.
Rotation: the beaters spin around an axis
Translation: A cook moves the beaters through the batter
400
Lightning
What is Electrical force?
400
Give an example of one of Newton's Laws of Motion. Explain which law it is and why.
Example: Suddenly braking in a car causes a passenger to jerk forward because they continue to move. This is the First law of motion because something in motion stays in motion.
400
Define apparent motion.
Bonus: give an example.
What is the appearance of motion? Example: Movies because of the high speed at which each image is shown.
500
You use the horizon as a (blank blank) to tell how high you are swinging on a swing set.
What is a reference point?
500
Ground during an earthquake
Describe in terms of translation, rotation, or vibration. EXPLAIN your answer.
Vibration: the earth vibrates
500
Earth’s poles affecting a compass
What is magnetic force?
500
Define inertia and explain its connection to Newton's First Law of Motion.
Inertia is the resistance to a change in motion. This resistance allowed Newton to notice that objects in motion continued in motion if the forces remained balanced because the inertia was resisting the change.
500
The wind against a paper airplane as it glides through the air.
What type of force is working on the plane?
