Force
What force pulls everything toward the ground?
Gravity
What type of energy powers a Tesla?
Electrical energy
What kind of motion moves in a straight line?
Rectilinear motion
What type of engineering focuses on machinery and motors?
Mechanical engineering
All forces can push or pull, or do both. Which does the force of gravity do?
Pull
What force slows down moving objects but rubbing surfaces?
Friction
What type of energy does a moving object have?
Kinetic Energy
What motion spins around an axis?
Rotational motion
What type of engineering builds roads, houses, bridges, tunnels, and all sorts of buildings?
Civil engineering
What material can be used on your car to store energy through tension?
A rubberband
What kind of force is created by stretching a rubber band?
Tension
True or false, all potential energy is stored equally.
False.
The earth going around the sun is an example of what type of motion?
Circular motion
What type of engineering includes circuits, power, and currents?
Electrical engineering
What program is used in CCBC STEM to create a 3D printed car?
TinkerCAD
What force resists an object moving through the air?
Drag
What type of energy does a rubber band that has been stretched (but not yet released) have?
Potential Energy
What motion occurs repeatedly, in the same amount of time? (E.g., a pendulum swinging)
Periodic motion
A DIY rubberband powered car mainly uses which type of engineering?
Mechanical
What is the one criteria given by Mr. Vaiotu for each car?
It needs to fit in a shoebox.
What force causes an object in motion to keep moving?
Momentum
Conversion is when energy changes into a new form of energy. When a rubberband is stretched, then released, what are the two types of energy being converted?
Potential energy into kinetic energy
What is motion?
An objects' change in position over time. (must mention both position AND time)
What was the earliest sign of mechanical engineering in human history?
The wheel
What word does Mr. Vaiotu use to describe a success criteria?
A goal.
