Let There Be Light! (and heat..and electricity)
100
A resting mass remains at rest until it is acted upon by some force. A mass in motion remains in motion unless acted upon by some force (1)
What is Newton's First Law of Motion
100
Name the kind of field that surrounds every electrical charge that is in motion (5)
What is Magnetic Field
100
The mathematical expression that describes the relationship among force (F), distance (x), and work (W) (9)
What is Work = Force x Distance (W=FX)
100
Positively charged subatomic particles (18)
What are protons
100
This causes matter to increase its vibrational motion, causing it to expand (27)
What is heat
200
According to Newton's Second Law of Motion, the acceleration of a mass in a vacuum may be known by two other parameters (values) (2)
What are 1. The mass of the object, and 2. the force that either was or continues to be applied to the object
200
The shape of the path of travel taken by a baseball thrown from outer space directly toward the sun if it comes close enough to Jupiter to be affected by its gravitation (6)
What is a Curve
200
A simple machine that applies a greater force over a short distance at its short end by applying a lesser force over a greater distance at its long end (10)
What is a lever
200
The number that describes the total number of protons in an atom (22)
What is the Atomic Number
200
The name given to electrical charges in motion (21)
What is current
300
The formula that describes Newton's 2nd Law
What is F=ma
300
Name the three natural forces (4)
What are Gravitation, Electromagnetism, and the Nuclear Force
300
In this, energy is neither created nor consumed, but is merely transferred from one form to another (11)
What is Work
300
The strongest natural force known. It is the force that holds positively charged protons close together in the nucleus of an atom (24)
What is the nuclear force
300
Bending of light (30)
What is refraction
400
********DOUBLE JEOPARDY********** According to Newton's 3rd Law of Motion, if you push a spring from north to south with a force of 1 Newton, the spring pushes your hand too. Name both the force and direction of the push of the spring (3)
What is 1 Newton from south to north (that is, equal and opposite to the force applied to the spring).
400
The weakest of the natural forces (14)
What is Gravitation
400
Stored energy or resting energy/energy of position in relationship to a force (12)
What is Potential Energy
400
A horrific example of the release of mass energy (13)
What is the explosion of an atomic bomb
400
A substance that appears colored because it absorbs light of certain wavelengths leaving the remaining wavelengths to be reflected toward the eyes of an observer (32)
What is pigment
500
What was Sir Isaac's favorite type of cookie?
What is a Fig Newton
500
Name two forces/other influences acting on the moon that cause it to keep a stable orbit around the earth (7)
What are 1. Earth's gravity 2. The inertia of the moon itself 3. The sun also influences the shape of the moon's orbit, but doesn't cause the orbit or affect its stability
500
Pushes and Pulls which are not natural forces but which can still be be applied to do work (25)
What are Artificial Forces
500
The name given to mass energy that escapes from certain elements because the nucleus is too large to be held together by the nuclear force and it becomes unstable (26)
What is Radioactive energy
500
*************DAILY DOUBLE******************
Place the following types of electromagnetic radiation in the correct order of their increasing energy: visible light, microwaves, ultraviolet waves, gamma rays, radio waves, x-rays, infrared waves (29)
