What is variable motion
100
Guess me if you can- I have a north and a south pole... and I can push and pull as well!
What is magnetism

As I push a bowling ball through space, I notice that the bowling ball goes one way and I go the other...
What is Newton's Third Law
100
The tendency for an object to resist a change in motion
What is inertia
100
What is the equation for speed?
What is speed= distance/time
200
This type of motion is happening when a wheel is spinning on its axle
What is circular motion
200
Guess me if you can! I need contact to work- if you rub a sock and balloon together, I will work hard to slow them down!
What is friction
200
Look at that tennis ball... it's just sitting there, not moving. Wait, a gust of wind! It knocked the tennis ball right over!
What is Newton's First Law of Motion
200
This looks at both average speed and direction of an object
What is velocity
200
What is the equation for work?
What is work= force X distance
300
This type of motion is happening when a musician plucks his guitar's strings
What is vibrational motion
300
Guess me if you can! I steal and give depending on my mood. An electron exchange will cause a push or a pull
What is electricity
300
As the train and a car take off from the start line, the train uses a lot more force to take off...
What is Newton's Second Law
300
A measure of the amount of force needed to move an object a certain distance- is measured in Joules
What is work
300
The difference between speed and velocity is...
What is velocity uses direction, and speed does not
400
This motion is happening when the moon travels around the Earth
What is constant motion
400
Guess me if you can! Planes hate me as they fly through the air. I resist their motion, which works to slow them down
What is air resistance
400
In a car, a boy keeps throwing a ball up and down, up and down... why doesn't the ball go flying out the back window?
What is an object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by an outside force (Newton's 1st Law)
400
Equal forces are acting on an object from opposite directions, and there is no change in motion
What is balanced force
400

What is 0 joules
500
This motion is happening when your heart is beating in your chest
What is periodic motion
500
Guess me if you can! Your weight depends on me, but mass is important to me. I can only pull you, never push you. I am different on different planets.
What is gravity
500
Newton's Cradle is an example of which law?
What is Newton's Third Law
500
The amount of "stuff" in an object
What is mass
500
This happens whenever an object changes its speed and direction- is a part of Newton's Second Law of Motion
What is acceleration
