What is 50 N?
200
A frictionless roller coaster that starts at height 4h will be traveling this much faster than one that starts at height h.
What is twice?
200
The quantity that is conserved when the shape of a spinning object changes.
What is angular momentum?

Reached when an object falling through air is no longer accelerating?
What is terminal velocity?
300
If the force and displacement do not have a component in this direction then no work is done.
What is parallel?
300
The relationship between torque and angular acceleration?
What is torque = I alpha?
