What is a mechanical wave?
A wave that travels only through matter

What would happen to gravity if the Earth were twice as massive?
The gravitational force between humans and Earth would increase and we would feel heavier.

You run into your friend while skating and both of you fall in opposite directions. This is an example of which law of motion?
Newton's 3rd Law
200
The support force exerted on an object that touches another stable object.
What is the normal force?
200
Knocking on a door would be what type of energy transfer?
Mechanical ----> Sound
200
What is a transverse wave?
A wave that moved perpendicular to energy movement.
200
You are thrown off the front of a 4 wheeler when it runs into a fence. This is an example of which law of motion?
Newton's 1st Law
300
You let the air out of a balloon- the air goes one way and the balloon goes the opposite direction. This is an example of which law of motion?
Newton's 3rd Law
300
What is the relationship between mass and gravitational force?
The greater the mass of an object, the stronger the gravitational force it exerts.
300
Plugging in then turning on Christmas lights would be what type of energy transfer?
Electrical ----> Radiant

If I water a ping pong ball on an ocean wave, where will it move?
It will end in the same place it started.
300
How can you reduce friction between two surfaces?
Make the surface slippery by adding water, ice, or oil.
400
Fill in the blank: An object in motion will ___ in ____, unless a/an _______ force acts upon it.
stay, motion, unbalanced
400
What has to be true about the strength friction and the strength of an applied force in order to get something to slide on the floor?
Applied force must be stronger than frictional force to get something to move.

Explain the energy transfer from the start to the end of this roller coaster:
A has all PE
B has 50/50 KE and PE
C is all KE
D is 50/50 KE and PE
400
Explain how sound and light waves work in space.
Light waves can move through space because they are electromagnetic, sound waves do not move in space because they are mechanical and need a medium to travel through.
400
What is a seismic wave?
An earthquake wave/mechanical wave that vibrates through earth's crust.
500
F = M * A
What does each letter stand for and what does this law mean?
Force = Mass * Acceleration
More mass requires more force to accelerate. Objects with more mass will accelerate less than objects with less mass if the same force is applied.

Calculate the net force as a vector:.jpg)
30 Newtons to the left.

Explain why the first hill on a roller coaster has to be the highest.
The first hill builds up all the energy for the rest of the roller coaster. If any other hill is higher, the roller coaster will not be able to make it up on its own.
