What is Motion?

A change in the objects position over time

100

What is the formula for speed?

Speed= distance/time

100

What is a force?

A push or a pull

100

What is Newton's 1st law of motion?

An object in motion will stay in motion until acted upon by an unbalanced force

100

What is a balanced force mean?

The net force on an object is equal to zero

200

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Velocity includes a direction

200

What is Friction?

a contact force that resists motion between two surfaces 

200

What are the units for force?

Newtons (N)

200

Which scientists was known as the "father or classical physics" and is usually depicted with an apple

Isaac Newton

200

What units is energy measured in?

Joules (J)

300

Which factors affect KE?

mass and speed

300

What is the acceleration of gravity that acts on object on Earth?

9.8 m/s2

300

When does acceleration happen?

When an object speeds up, slows down, or changes direction

300

Which formula is used in Newton's 2nd Law?

F=ma

300

What are the units for acceleration?

m/s2

400

What is the formula for potential energy?

mgh

400

What is Kinetic Energy? What is its formula.

Energy of motion. KE= 1/2mv2

400

What is gravitational potential energy?

stored energy an object has because of its height above the ground
400

What is Newtons 3rd Law of Motion?

For every action there is an equal but opposite reaction

400

What is Inertia?

an objects tendency to resist a change in motion

500

What is Elastic Potential Energy? 

energy stored in an object that can stretch or squish to its original shape

500

Which would fall first in a vacuum, a feather or a bowling ball?

Both would fall at the same rate

500

What is the law of conservation of energy?

Energy cannot be created or destroyed just transferred 
500

What is the difference between displacement and distance?

distance is total path traveled and displacement is the change in position from start to finish
