Zakai was tapping the table in Science class, and his teacher responded. 

  • Teacher: Stop tapping the table!  You’re deforming it!

  • Zakai: I am not!  There’s no way that tapping a table can deform it, bro!

Does a table deform when you tap it?


Yes! EVERYTHING deforms with ANY amount of force. You just might not be able to see it.

A force is any ________ or ________ on an object.

push, pull

100

When the cart is pulled back against the spring scale, prepared to launch, the cart has _________________ before it's motion begins.

potential energy
100

Materials that have a series of these structures tend to reduce the amount of force in a collisions most.

air pockets/spaces/gaps in the solid materials

What is the original mascot for Boston Latin Academy?

the Jabberwock

200

A material's ability to change it's shape (bend, stretch, etc.) when a force is applied and return to its original form after the force is removed.

Elastic Limit

200

A car travels down the highway at 60mph. A rock collides with the windshield after getting kicked up by a truck. Which object (the car or the rock) experience the most force?

BOTH experience an equal and opposite force. 

200

As the mass and speed of an object increase, so to does the amount of ______________ it has generating a greater force.

kinetic energy

200

The following design matrix uses a "star" system. More stars mean that material is better at that task/ability.

Using the design matrix, which material seems to reduce force the best?

Cotton/urethane

200

What is Jesse the "Yodeling Cowgirl's" horse's name from Toy Story series?

Bullseye

300

Once a material exceeds its elastic limit, it reaches its ______________ when even after a force is removed, it is permanently deformed. 

breaking point

300

A cart moving down a track will slow down and eventually come to a stop as the cart looses kinetic energy due to air resistance as it travels through the air and _________________ as the wheels roll down the track.

Friction

300

As we double the mass of an object, the amount of kinetic energy that object has _________________.

doubles

300

The following design matrix uses a "star" system. More stars mean that material is better at that task/ability.

Which material contributes the least to climate change?

wood

300

What country is argued to be the birthplace of the hamburger?

United States of America

400

When a material has structures such as ______________ that structure can deform more which absorbs more energy, reducing the overall force transferred through that material. 

air pockets

400

A motorcycle and a box delivery truck are traveling from Boston to New York City. Which vehicle will use more fuel to make the trip and why?

The box truck will use more fuel becsaue it has more surface area, experiencing more air resistance, which will require more energy (fuel) to make the trip.

400

Which graph accurately represents the relationship between speed and kinetic energy?

Graph 3

400

The following design matrix uses a "star" system. More stars mean that material is better at that task/ability.

Which material is the least expensive to produce?

wood

Which of these objects (W, X, Y, or Z) will NOT experience a change in speed?

X

500

At which position does the ball have the MOST kinetic energy (position 1, 2, 3, 4)? 

Position 1

500

As the size of an "air pocket" increases, the amount of force measured tends to _________________.

decrease

500
