Mass, Matter, & Weight
How much matter is in an object.
What is mass?
An invisible force that pulls two objects together; it is always downward.
What is gravity?
The ability to do work.
What is energy?
One of the most important scientists in history; he contributed the Theory of Gravity, the Laws of Motion, and calculus.
Who was Isaac Newton?
The capital of the United States of America.
What is Washington, D.C.?
Anything that has weight and takes up space.
What is matter?
A force that brings objects back to their original shape after they are deformed.
What is elastic force?
Energy that is stored because of its position or state.
What is potential energy?
The SI unit for force.
What is the Newton (N)?
The tallest mountain in the world.
What is Mount Everest?
The SI unit for mass.
kilogram (kg)
A force between electrically charged particles
(*Hint: "Opposites attract!").
What is electromagnetic force?
Energy that is due to the motion of an object.
What is kinetic energy?
This law of motion states that every action has an equal and opposite reaction.
What is Newton's Third Law of Motion?
The element with an atomic number of 1.
What is hydrogen?
This affects weight but not mass.
What is gravity?
A force applied on another object by a string/cable/chain.
What is tension?
Types of potential energy.
What is gravity/elasticity/nuclear energy/chemical energy?
This law of motion states that it takes more force to change the speed of heavier objects in motion.
What is Newton's Second Law of Motion?
The largest organ in the human body.
What is the skin?
This states that matter can neither be created nor destroyed.
What is the Law of Conservation of Mass?
A force caused when one object rubs against another object; it is parallel to and in the opposite direction of movement.
What is friction?
Types of kinetic energy.
What is mechanical energy/electricity/sound/thermal energy?
This law of motion states that a moving object will keep moving in the same direction and speed unless something else acts on it.
What is Newton's First Law of Motion?
This organelle is known as the "powerhouse of the cell."
What is the mitochondrion?
(*Plural form: mitochondria)
