Mr. Festa needs a cup to put his Ice cold Coke in.  Should he use a 

a) metal cup because it is a good insulator
b) metal cup because it is a good conductor
c) foam cup because it is a good insulator
d) foam cup because it is a good conductor

Foam cup - good insulators

Insulators- lots of space between particles- Temp changes slowly

Conductors (most metals) little space between participles - Temp changes quickly

Mr. Sullivan pulled back a spring 2cm to hit a ball. His ball traveled 3meters. Mr. Festa pulled back a spring 3 cm to hit a ball. Mr. Festa's ball will travel

a) the same distance as Mr.Sullivan's
b) a greater distance than Mr. Sullivan's
c) a shorter distance than Mr. Sullivan's 


b) Mr. Festa increased the potential energy by pulling the spring back more.  When he released the spring, the energy was converted into kinetic energy and the ball would travel further.
