This scientist believed there were only 2 types of motion in the world: Natural and Violent
Who is Aristotle?

Newton's 1st Law of Motion is also referred to as "Newton's Law of" this property of matter.
What is inertia?
100
An object is moving with constant velocity of 1 m/s to the west with no acceleration, therefore this is the net force acting on that object.
What is 0 N?
100
This is the amount of tension acting in the support cable (measured in Newtons)
What is 50 N?

[Science]
Newton spent much of his life studying this branch of pseudoscience.
What is alchemy?

This scientist first proposed the heliocentric in the 15th century.
Who is Nicolaus Copernicus?

State Newton's 1st Law of Motion
An object in motion shall remain in motion and an object at rest shall remain at rest unless acted upon by an outside force.
200
If an object is experiencing a 15 N force to the left and a 10 N force to the right, then this is the net force acting on that object.
What is 5 Newtons to the left?
200
The two cases above show the same person and the same cable. This case results in greater tension in the cable.
What is the tightrope walker?

[English]
This punctuation mark indicates a pause, typically between two main clauses, that is more pronounced than that indicated by a comma.
What is a semicolon?
300
This scientist did a great deal of work regarding inertia and the force of gravitation.
Who is Galileo Galilei?
300
Considering the objects above, one can see that this object has more inertia than the other.
What is Object B?
300
A skydiver has reached terminal velocity whilst doing a free fall. The skydiver has reached this type of equilibrium.
What is dynamic equilibrium?
300
If both boxes have the same weight, then this box is placing greater tension on its support cables.
What is Box 1?

[History]
This president was assassinated in 1901 by anarchist Leon Czolgosz while meeting the public.
Who is William McKinley?

According to Galileo, if an object is rolling across a horizontal plane, it should do this.
Maintain speed unless slowed/stopped by friction.
400
An object is thrown into the frictionless void of space with an initial velocity of 2 m/s. This is its velocity after 300 s.
What is 2 m/s?
400
This force acts against gravity to keep objects in place.
What is support force?
400
This is the tension acting on the support cables shown above (measured in Newtons)
What is 193 N?

These are the 3 x-intercepts of the polynomial below:
y = (x + 1)(x2 + 2x +3)
What are x = -1, x = 1, & x = 2

According to Galileo, this is the maximum height able to be reached by the rolling ball, below.
What is 4m?

True or False: Inertia is a function of volume.
False

If an object has a mass of 10 kg and is resting on a table, unmoving, this is the magnitude of the support force holding the object in place.
What is 98 N?

This is the weight of the object hanging in the example below.
What is 26 N?

the "b2 - 4ac" portion of the quadratic which determines the number of real/imaginary solutions is referred to as this.
What is the discriminant?
