The "original mover"
What is God
100
Calculation for speed
What is distance traveled/time traveled?
100
The time rate of change of an objects velocity
What is acceleration?
100
A glass of water sits on a counter is it moving? Yes or no- defend your answer
Yes it is moving relative to many REFERENCE POINTS. To someone standing still in the house the glass is not moving. However, relative to any object not on earth, it is in motion. In fact, if you move towards the glass, the glass is in motion relative to you, because the glass's position relative to you changes.

What caused the raw egg in experiment 10.1 last week to continue spinning even after you stopped it. What is the term?
What is inertia. The tendency of an object to resist changes in its velocity. The liquid in the raw egg made it continue to spin after you briefly tried to stop it.
200
This person listed motion as one of his 5 arguments for the existence of God
Who is St. Thomas Aquinas?
200
These BLANK for the quantity are just as important as the quantity itself.
What are units
200
What is the equation for acceleration
What is final velocity minus initial velocity/time?
200
He discovered 3 laws of motion
Who is sir Isaac newton?
200
A force that exists whenever two surfaces are touching each other. P. 239
What is friction
300
The branch of physics that deals with analyzing and understanding objects in motion, the forces applied to those objects, and the energy that exists in them.
What is mechanics?
300
This tells how quickly and in what direction an object is moving
What is velocity?
300
The motion of an object when it is falling solely under the influence of gravity.
What is free fall?
300
Name 3 scientific things Sir Isaac Newton did
What is calculus, prism experiment-showed white light is composed of many colors, built the first reflecting telescope
300
If you push on an object, the amount it accelerates depends on two things:
What is mass of the object and the magnitude of the force with which you push. P.241
400
A point against which position is measured
What is reference point?
400
A physical measurement that contains directional information
What is vector quantity?
400
What accelerates an object in free fall
What is gravity?
400
An object in motion (or at rest) will tend to stay in motion (or at rest) until it is acted upon by an outside force.
What is newton's First Law of Motion?
400
Why does friction exist?
Friction exists because on the atomic scale, there is no such thing as a smooth surface. P. 239
500
Term for How quickly motion occurs
What is speed?
500
A physical measurement that does not contain directional information
What is scalar quantity?
500
What is the speed of a boat that travels 10 miles in 30 minutes? Answer in miles per hour
What is 20 miles/hr 30 minutes/1 x 1hour /60 minutes=0.5 hours Speed=10 miles/0.5 hours = 20 miles/hour
500
He thought the natural state of an object is for the object to remain at rest.
Who is Aristotle?
500
What part of your body maintains its balance along with Newton's First Law? P.236
What is semicircular canals in the ears. Cupula-sensory organ in the ear also.
