Dividing the sum of the final velocity and the initial velocity by 2 gives this value.

What is average velocity?

100

This drawing is used to demonstrate all the forces acting on an object.

What is a free-body diagram?

Work is force time this value.

What is distance?

100

All objects with mass are attracted to each other due to this principle.

What is gravity?

100

Mass

What is kilograms?

200

The total change in position is called this.

What is displacement?

200

This force acts perpendicular to the surface of contact.

What is the normal force?

200

This principle is described as "the work added to a system is equal to increase in energy of that system".

What is the Work-Energy Theorem?

200

1/1000 of the SI unit for mass.

What is grams?

Kinetic Energy

What is joules?

300

By definition, this value is a change in velocity.

What is acceleration?

300

This force acts in the opposite direction of the direction of motion.

What is the frictional force?

300

Calculate the work done on a 10 kg object being raised 1.4 meters off the ground.

What is 137 joules?

300

Einstein had this theory.

What is General Relativity?

What is watts?

400

For projectile motion, horizontal velocity stays constant, while the vertical velocity changes at this rate.

What is 9.81 m/s^2?

400

For objects placed on an incline, this component of gravity is equal in magnitude, opposite in direction of the normal force.

What is the y-component of gravity?

400

Calculate the kinetic energy of a 2-kg ball at the bottom of a 10-m hill.

What is 196 joules?

400

This scientist determined that objects falling towards Earth fall with with same acceleration.

Who is Galileo?

Current

What is an ampere or amp?

500

If the velocity of an object is negative and the objects is speeding up in the negative direction, this is the sign of the acceleration.

What is negative?

500

This two-word value is found as by dividing the force necessary to move an object by the object's acceleration, as opposed to balancing the object against a known mass.

What is inertial mass?

500

Using the law of conservation of energy, calculate the velocity of a 4-kg ball at the bottom of a pendulum that is raised to a height of 0.4 m before being released.
