What is the definition of "Force"

What is: a push of pull on an object

100

What happens when all forces on an object are equal?

What is: the object does not move

100

What were we observing in the Collision Lab? (pennies and marbles)

What is the amount of pennies that got knocked off based on the effects of the different sized marbles.

100

What is an example of Newton's First Law?

Student gives correct response

200

A dog sled team uses eight dogs to pull the sled which moves faster than the team with four dogs.

Newton's 2nd Law

200

What is the definition of "Velocity"?

What is: the speed of an object in a certain direction

200

What happens when forces on an object are NOT equal

What is: the object moves

200

300

Your little cousin runs to the swings on the playground, jumps into the seat and does not understand why he's not moving

Newton's 1st Law

300

What is the definition of "Unbalanced Forces"?

What is: Forces that cause a change in motion of an object

300

What is a DRAG force?

What is: the resistance force caused by the motion of an object

300

The stacks of pennies that represent "Earth" were not moving at the beginning of the experiment.  What causes this to change?  Which of Newton's Laws does this represent?

What is: the force of the marble causes the pennies to move.  What is: Newton's First Law

300

Based on Coach Wooden's Pyramid of Success, what was our "Theme of the Week"?

What is: Self-Control

400

A golf ball and baseball are hit with the same force, but the golf ball travels much faster

Newton's 2nd Law

400

What is the definition of Newton's First Law?

What is: An object at rest will stay at rest and an object in motion will stay in motion until an external force is applied

400

What is the force that opposes gravity and pushes up at you when you are standing up?

What is: Normal Force

400

What happened to the marbles "Etiam" after they hit the pennies "Earth"?  How does this relate to Newton's Third Law?

What is: the either stopped moving, slowed down, of were deflecting in another direction

What is: Action - marbles contacting the pennies, Reaction - pennies falling, marble changing direction

Newton's 1st Law

500

What is the definition of Newton's Second Law

(including the equation)

What is: The acceleration of an object depends on the mass of an object and the force applied to it

F= m*a
