Define Free Fall
Downward movement, under the force of gravity only (so there's no air resistance)
100
Newton's first law is also known as what?
Law of inertia
100
Among other things, what did Galileo say about two objects with identical or different masses dropped from the same height?
They strike the ground at the same time.
100
What is the acceleration of a 25 kg mass pushed by a 10 N force?
0.4 m/s/s
100
A number between 20 and 30 + April has 30 of these + Antonym of sooner = ? When you add up these words, the movie title for what horror flick do you get?
28 Days Later
200
Terminal Velocity occurs when what two things are balanced?
The force of gravity and the force of air resistance
200
Newton's second law is easily described by what equation?
F = m x a
200
Why does a feather not fall to the ground at the same rate as a bowling ball?
Air resistance
200
How much force is required to accelerate a 5 kg mass at 20 m/s/s?
100 N
200
Element symbol: Fe + Opposite of woman = ? You get the movie title for what action movie when adding up these words?
Iron Man
300
Projectile motion relies on what two things?
A forward push and the pull of gravity
300
"For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction"
Newton's Third Law
300
What invention did Galileo use to impress the royalty of Europe?
The telescope
300
What is the velocity of a stone that has been falling for 7.7 seconds?
75.46 m/s
300
To exhale - "brea" + Described as a surface not covered by water + Opposite of after + What the clock tells us = ? Adding up these words creates the movie title for what children's movie?
The Land Before Time
400
Which of the following is NOT an example of projectile motion? A) a leaping frog B) an arrow traveling through the air C) a crate sliding along the ground D) a pitched baseball
C
400
Why do forces like air resistance and friction make Newton's laws difficult to demonstrate?
Newton's laws are true only in an ideal situation. Objects can't really go on forever when friction is slowing it down and resistant forces like air resistance need to be accounted for in real life.
400
Whose ideas did Galileo seek to disprove through experimentation?
Aristotle
400
What is the momentum of a 9.8 Kg mass traveling at a velocity of 17.76 m/s?
174.05 Kg x m/s
400
Examples of one: Earth, Venus, Neptune.. + Opposite of on - "f" + Your mother's husband to you - "far" + The orangutan is one of the largest of these types of animals = ? You get the movie title for what science fiction movie by adding these words together?
Planet of the Apes
500
Why is skydiving not an example of free fall?
Because you reach terminal velocity at some point due to the force of air resistance.
500
If a book has a force of 50 N applied to it and it is moving with an acceleration of 26.4 m/s/s, what is its mass?
1.89 Kg
500
At the end of the movie, who proved Galileo's assertion that a cannonball and a feather would fall at the same rate in a vacuum?
Neil Armstrong
500
Phil Mickelson hits a 45 gram golf ball at a speed of 86 m/s. What momentum does the ball have when it lands in the crowd?
3.87 kg x m/s
500
The movie about Tom Hanks and his crew trying to get to the moon, but not quite getting there - The movie about Jason Vorhees' mom harassing counselors at Camp Crystal Lake x the Eminem "biography".
