Physics of Motion
This is the unit for force
What is a Newton?
If a Car is traveling at 40m/s for 10sec what is the distance it will travel?
What is 400 m?
D= S x T
D= 40 x 10
D= 400m
This is the formula to calculate Speed
What is distance ÷ time?
This famous scientist's most well known equation describes the relationship between energy, mass, and the speed of light.
Albert Einstein (E=mc2)
This date is the last day of the Fall 2023 school semester before Winter break.
When is Friday Dec. 15th?
This type of energy describes motion
What is Kinetic energy?
An athlete runs around a track that is 100 meters long three times, then stops. What is his total distance traveled?
What is 300 m?
The value that results if you multiply mass and velocity; often used to determine fault in car crashes
What is momentum?
This famous physicist is the only female to have won the Nobel peace prize twice and in 2 different fields no less.
Who is Madame Marie Curie?
This brings Frosty the Snowman to life.
What is a magical hat (a top hat)?
This is the acceleration due to gravity on Earth.
What is -9.8 m/s2?
This is the total displacement of an athlete who runs around a track that is 100 meters long three times.
What is 0m?
The two forces acting on a ball after it is thrown into the air?
What is air resistance and gravity?
This famous scientist's theme song coined the phrase; "Science Rules"
Who is Bill Nye (the Science guy)?
When Santa calls his reindeer by name, he calls this reindeer first.
Who is Dasher?
The difference between Speed and velocity
What is a direction and/or scalar v. vector quantity?
The distance a car travelled if it drove at 40 m/s for 30 minutes
What is 72 km?
D = v*t = 40 m/s * 1800 s
D= 72,000 m = 72 km
The force of gravity on the object; may be defined as the mass times the acceleration due to gravity
What is weight?
The famous scientist and main character of the biographical movie "The Theory of Everything"
Who is Stephen Hawking?
This first day of winter occurs just before Christmas
What is the "Winter Solstice"?
or
When is "Dec. 21st" 2023?
Forces occurring between objects and the surfaces they are on
What is friction?
The mass of an object that is traveling at acceleration of 20m/s2 and a force of 10,000N
What is 500kg?
M= F/a = 10,000 / 20
M= 500kg
This must act on an object in order for the direction or speed of an object to change
What is an unbalanced force?
An English Physicist who established that the various forms of energy—mechanical, electrical, and heat—are basically the same and can be changed one into another. We honor him with a unit of measure.
Who is James Prescott Joule?
(that is why Energy is measured in "joules")
The total number of gifts given in the song "Twelve Days of Christmas".
What is 364?
