100
This word describes both the speed of an object, as well as its direction.
What is velocity
100
If the momentum of a runner is 1500 kg*m/s, this value would become the new momentum of the runner if his mass were cut in half.
What is 750 kg*m/s
100
This value is the same thing as impulse.
What is change in momentum.
100
This scientific law states that for every force applied to an object, the object applies an equal amount of force back.
What is Newton's Third Law
100
Never without his bullwhip and fedora, this archeologist is always finding trouble when looking for ancient and priceless artifacts.
What is Indiana Jones
200
This word describes mass in motion.
What is momentum
200
When an object with a set mass increases this value, it also increases its momentum.
What is velocity
200
An airbag is designed to reduce this value, thereby increasing the time of the collision.
What is force
200
In a collision, if the two objects do this they will have the same velocity after the collision.
What is stick together
200
Marty and Doc are always finding trouble in a DeLorean time machine in this 1980's classic trilogy.
What is Back to the Future
300
This word describes the amount of force being applied during a period of time.
What is impulse
300
If a wasp were to smash on the windshield of an automobile, this object is said to have experienced the greater acceleration.
What is the wasp
300
This is the force on an object that takes 0.5 seconds to change its momentum by 400 kg*m/s.
What is 800 N
300
If a 1200 kg sports car moving at 12 m/s crashes into a 1100 kg parked car, this value would represent the final velocity of the sports car after the two cars crash and stick together.
What is 6.3 m/s
300
This TV series spanned 7 seasons, following the voyages of Captain Jean-Luc Picard and his crew as they boldly went where no man has gone before...
What is Star Trek: The Next Generation
400
This phrase applies to a system that experiences no net external force.
What is an isolated system
400
In order for an object to have momentum, it must be doing this task.
What is moving
400
An object experiencing a force of 1235 N for 2.5 seconds, experiences this amount of impulse.
What is 3088 N*s
400
Two small children are playing tag. A 35 kg boy is chasing a 25 kg boy. The 35 kg boy is running at 3 m/s and the 25 kg boy at 2 m/s. When the 35 kg boy tags the 25 kg boy, he pushes him forward to a new speed of 4 m/s. This value would then represent the final velocity of the 35 kg boy.
What is 1.6 m/s
400
This classic 1990's TV series was on air for 10 seasons, following the comedic lives of 6 people in New York City.
What is Friends
500
This phrase is saying that the total momentum before a collision is equivalent to the total momentum after the collision.
What is the law of conservation of momentum (conservation of momentum)
500
This is the momentum of a bird that has a mass of 0.09 kg and is flying at a speed of 15 m/s.
What is 1.35 kg*m/s
500
If the impulse on an object is 1675 N*s, and the amount of force applied is 4188 N, this is the amount of time the collision lasted
What is 0.4 s
500
A 4.35 kg rifle fires a 0.045 kg bullet towards its target at 375 m/s. This value would then represent the final velocity of the rifle.
What is -3.9 m/s
500
This semi-well known 1994 sci-fi film is about an ancient circular device found in Egypt that transports Colonel Jack O'Neill and Dr. Daniel Jackson to another planet where they discover a parasitic alien race enslaving humans. There were 3 TV series with the same name that branched off of this one movie.
What is Stargate.
