Ramps and Runways
Which ball will go farther, the one released from a lower release position or a higher release position?
Higher
If a 150 pound male ram headbutts a 130 pound ram, which ram will be driven backwards?
130 pound ram
Define gravity
A pulling force from the center of the earth
A girl is rolling a bowling ball toward a group of bowling pins. What causes the ball to keep rolling, even though it hits into the pins? A. Gravity B. Friction C. Momentum
Momentum
Very brave........
100 points!!!
Which ball will have more potential energy, the one held at a low release position or a high release position?
High
When two cars collide, what affect will the amount of crumpling have on the impact to the passenger?
The more crumpling, the less Gs felt by the passenger
Define collision
When two objects are moving through space in opposite directions and hit into each other
An Olympic skier is skiing down a steep slope. Eventually, the skier will come to a stop unless she is propelling herself forward. What is stopping her?
A. Gravity B. Friction C. Momentum
Friction
Where was Newton when he discovered gravity?
In an apple orchard
Which ball will have more momentum, the large ball released from position 4 or the medium ball released from position 4?
Large
What causes a concussion?
Define force
a push or pull
A boy on a mountain bike is biking up a mountain trail. It is much more difficult to bike up the trail than it was to ride down the hill. What is causing this?
A. Gravity B. Friction C. Momentum
Gravity
What was Newton's first name?
Isaac
Which ball will do more work, the small ball released from position 5 or the large ball released from position 5?
Large
What are the primary differences between the football helmets of the 1920s and the helmets we have today?
The helmets from the 1920s had no padding, whereas modern helmets avoid concussions by providing padding, pair pockets, soft compressible materials, and chin straps
Define concussion
When momentum causes a person's brain to keep moving in the direction they were traveling, causing it to hit the inside of the skull, causing bruising.
Two cars with the same mass, going the same speed collide head on. The silver car crunched about 1 foot, as they collided. The blue car smashed in 2 and a half feet. Which driver experienced more Gs?
The driver of the silver car
Guess what!!!
Free 400 points :D
If there is a cork in the runway, which ball will cause it to move farther, the medium ball released from position 3 or the medium ball released from position 4?
Position 4
What happens to the energy of 2 moving balls when they hit 3 balls that are not moving, in a newton's cradle?
The energy will be transferred to the last 2 balls and will cause them to swing up. When they fall back from the pull of gravity, they will hit 3 balls and cause the first 2 balls to again start swinging.
Define momentum
When the mass and speed of an object causes it to keep moving
A car and a semi truck collide head on. Both are going the same speed. Which statement will be true?
A. The car is lighter so it will push the truck backwards
B. The truck is heavier so it will push the car backwards
C. They are traveling the same speed so they will not move as they collide
The mass of the truck is greater, so it has more momentum and will push the car backwards
How do you spell Ms. Gray's new last name?
