What force pulls objects towards the Earth

What is Gravity!

100

What form of energy does a moving object have?

What is Kinetic?
100

What force pushes objects upward in water?

What is buoyancy?

100

What causes an object to move or stop?

What is a force?

100

What are the three states of matter?

What are solid, liquid, and gas?
200

What is used to measure how fast something is moving?

What is Speed?

200

What kind of energy is stored in a stretched band?

What is Elastic Potential Energy?
200

Why do some objects float in water while others sink?

What is because of differences in density?

200

What is Friction?

What is a force that resists motion between two surfaces?

200

What units are used to measure force?

What are Newtons (N)?

300

What happens to an object's motion if it is acted upon by an object with equal force?

What is it comes to a stop?

300

Name two forms of energy when you push an object?

What is mechanical energy/Kinetic energy/etc.

300

What happens to the buoyant force if you submerge more of an object (does it increase/stay the same/decrease)?

What is increases?
300

What is Inertia?

What is the tendency of an object to resist changes in motion?

300

What is mass a measure of?

What is how heavy something is?
400
A car is moving at 60 mph and suddenly stops. What causes a car to stop?

What is Friction?

400

Why does a ball rolling on the ground eventually stops, even if no one touches it?

What is because of Friction?

400

Why does a steel ship float while a small steel ball sinks?

What is because of it's average density due to size?
400

What is the formula for force according to Newton's 2nd Law?

What is Force = Mass x Acceleration (F = ma)?

400

How is mass different from weight?

What is mass is the same everywhere, and weight depends on gravity?

500

If two objects with different masses are pushed with the same force, which one accelerates more and why?

What is the object with the least mass due to Newton's Second Law?
500

How does the Law of Conservation of Energy apply to a pendulum swinging back and forth?

What is because Energy changes between potential and kinetic, but remains constant
500

A block of wood floats with 1/4 of it above water. What does this say about its density compared to water.

What is its density is 75% that of water (because 3/4 of it is submerged)?

500
Why is it harder to push a full cart than an empty one?

What is because it has more mass, therefore requiring a greater force?

500
What would happen to your weight on the Moon compared to Earth?

What is it would be less because the Moon has less gravity to push you down?
