structural forces
What 2 forces are OPPOSITES?
Tension and Compression
who was our customer(s)?
Chamber of commers and balence
what is a rube Goldberg machine?
A series of simple machines creating one big machine to do big work easily.
what are the two types of genius project options?
mastery grid or build something
Gravity on Earth is a constant of 9.8 m/s(2) - if gravity does not change please explain why (use correct forces in motion explanation):
A bowling ball is more dangerous to drop than a ping pong ball:
more mass and more weight.
If your structure is showing torsion, what needs to be realigned most likely?
the left and right sides holding up the structure
why do we use both glue and screws on large wood projects?
so they wont fall out
how can you make your rube Goldberg launch a greater distance?
by adding a catapult
what is genius project (define it)
a project designed by you.
Falling off the roof is more dangerous than falling off a chair:
farther distance
What two forces are contingent?
shear and torsion
why is it important to sand wood pieces before assembling?
so you wont get a splinter and make it easier to work with.
how can you make your Goldberg hit the target accurately?
by making a path with a wedge, ramp, spiral, etc.
what is mastery grid game?
A bingo like game where there's tasks you have to do then describe to try to do the grid.
Explain why your rube goldberg needs gravity to work:
needs gravity for catapult to launch, or to move down a ramp.
If your structure falls over due to shear, what is true about your left and right sides of your structure?
that they are not aligned properly.
-what is the purpose of the Squarapy pieces for physical therapists?
for people with an issue with certain textures or materials
what are 3 of the 6 simple machines?
(name 6 for x2 points!)
Wedge
Ramp
Spiral
pulley
wheel and axle
level
explain your genius project plan.

Name three of the five structural forces
(name all 5 gets x1.5 points)
Compression: The act of pressing down or smooshing something, like a stress ball or marshmellow
Tension: The act of stretching something longer like a rubber band or slingshot
Torsion: The act of bending something and/or twisting something like a bottle cap or a screw
Shear: The act of slicing something down the sides by pushing in opposite directions towards each other
Deflection: The act of changing the direction of something.
