The ability of an object to float

What is buoyancy?

100
Tell me the two types of energy (mechanical)

What are Potential and Kinetic Energy

100

What is a force?

A push or pull on an object

100

What is Newton's third law?

What is every action has an equal and opposite reaction

200

What's the difference between speed and velocity?

What is velocity has direction and speed does not?

200

What is the force that opposes motion in water that we must overcome to move?

What is drag?
200
What's the difference between work and power

Work is the energy transferred to an object by force over a distance.

Power is the amount of work done over time. (rate)

What is Physics?

What is the study of matter?

200

What is Newton's Second Law?

 What is F = ma

Force equals mass times acceleration

300

A term used to describe the change in position of an object (not distance)

What is displacement

300

Give me an example of something buoyant and explain why it floats.

Answers may vary.

List all 6 simple machines

Pulley, lever, incline plane, wheel/axle, screw, wedge

300
Anything that has mass and occupies spaces.

What is matter?

300

What is Newton's First Law

What is an object in motion/place stays in motion/place unless acted upon by an outside force

400

Define Inertia

What is the resistance of an object to a change in motion?

400

Describe to me the effect of a bird expanding its wings while its flying. (what happens)

When the bird extends its wing, it creates more places for the air particles to hit. Larger surface area. This creates more drag and more air resistance.

400

The person the Joule (unit of work) was named after

Who is James Joule?

400

What are the four states of matter?

What are solid, liquid, gas, and plasma?

400

Where was Newton from?

Where is England/Britain

500

What is the other teacher's name (the guy with glasses)?

What is Peyton?
500

The reason why parachutes slow down a person from falling

Because of its wide surface area, all the air particles hitting the parachute slow down a parachuting person when they are falling.

500

What is the "work" of an object directly calculated by?

What is by force and distance

500

Tell me what effect increasing force has on the acceleration of an object.

What is the acceleration increases?
500

Which one of Newton's laws do space probes like Voyager 1 and 2 demonstrate?

What is Newton's 1st Law?
