Concepts
Newton's First Law
Objects in motion tend to stay in motion, objects at rest tend to stay at rest
A car with a mass of 1,500 kg accelerates at 2.5 m/s². What is the net force acting on the car?
3750 N
What is the power for the prefix pico- ?
10-12
In the TV show Suits, who is the lawyer who constantly avoids Harvey after cheating to beat him once in a law school mock trial?
A. Elliot Stemple
Mike Eruzione
Newton's second law
An object's force is equal to its mass x acceleration
A force of 50 N is applied to a 10 kg object. What is the acceleration of the object?
5 m/s2
What is the power for the prefix mega- ?
106
How many keys are on a standard piano?
88
What was Kareem-Abdul Jabbar and Muhammed Ali's names prior to their change due to the Islamic Faith?
Lew Alcindor
Cashes Clay
Newton's Third Law
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction
A person pushes a 20 kg box with a force of 100 N. However, friction opposes the motion with a force of 40 N. What is the acceleration of the box?
3 m/s2
What is the power for the prefix nano- ?
10-9
Where did the meteorite that caused the extinction of the dinosaurs hit geographically?
(Modern day country and specific location required)
Mexico, Yucatan Peninsula
What two teams played in the 1979 NCAA National Championship game between two future NBA hall of famers?
Michigan State and Indiana State
Magic v Bird
They are the same
A student calculates the acceleration of a 5 kg object when a force of 20 N is applied.
The student states that the acceleration is 0.25 m/s2
Identify the error
He divided the mass by the force
Force/Mass = 4 m/s2
How many times smaller is a centimeter than a kilometer?
100,000 times smaller
105
Name the countries that make up the United Kingdom
England
Scotland
Wales
Northern Ireland
The 1992 Olympic Games where the Dream Team won every game were held in what country? And what college player was the only non-pro on the roster?
Barcelona
Christian Laettner
What is a Newton equal to?
The amount of force required to accelerate 1kg of mass by 1 m/s2
A physics student claims that a 2,000 kg truck accelerating at 4 m/s² requires only 250 N of force to achieve this acceleration
Identify his error
He divided the mass by the acceleration rather than multiplying
The correct answer would be
8,000 N
Which prefix is one billion times greater than the base unit?
Tera (1012)
Name the two assassins who killed JFK and Lincoln
Lee Harvey Oswald
John Wilkes Booth
Name the missing NFL players based on the following draft picks
