This scientific law explains the "balance in physics" by stating that every action has an equal & opposite reaction.

What is the 3rd law of motion? or What is Newton's 3rd Law?

100

In order to solve for this value, often using units like meters, you would multiply speed and time. 

what is distance?

100

This term describes the ability to do work.

What is Energy?

100

This famous scientist identified the three laws of motion.

Who is Sir Isaac Newton?

100

This value, used in both of our labs, is A measure of an object's tendency to move at constant speed along a straight path.

What is Momentum?

200
This scientific law explains why objects in space will continue moving forever, due to the lack of friction.

What is the 1st law of motion? OR what is Newton's 1st law?

200

In order to solve for this value, usually denoted by units like seconds or hours, you would take distance divided by speed.

What is Time?

200

This type of energy is often called stored energy and is based on the position of an object related to another. 

what is Potential energy?

200

This scientist was famous for his political cartoons and inventions that show the laziness of the modern people.

Who is Rube Goldberg?

200

This value, used primarily in our Egg Drop Lab, describes the force that gas molecules in the atmosphere apply as an object falls.

What is Air Resistance?

300

This scientific Law is responsible for explaining force, including the object's mass & acceleration. 

What is the 2nd law of motion? or what is Newton's Second law of motion?

300

In order to solve for this value, often measured in meters per second or miles per hour, you would take Distance divided by time.

What is Speed?

300

This type of energy is about motion and is in every moving object.

What is Kinetic Energy?

300

These machines take random, ordinary objects and use them in odd ways to complete an extremely mundane task.

What are Rube Goldberg Machines?

300

This value, seen in both of our labs, is A force generated by the earth that pulls objects down based on their mass.

What is Gravity?

400

According to Newton's Second Law of Motion, Force equals mass multiplied by this value, which is similar to speed.

What is acceleration?

400

The 2nd Law of motion is this equation.

what is "Force = Mass x Acceleration"?

400

This form of potential energy is found inside of the nucleus of an Atom.

What is Nuclear Energy?

400

Rube Goldberg was originally interested in being a cartoonist, but his father forced him to get his degree in this field, which focuses on designing and building things.

What is Engineering?

400

In our egg drop lab, using a parachute helped to do this to the egg, since it increased air resistance, thereby reducing the impact of it on the ground. 

what is to slow it down? 

500

This scientific law is what explains that energy cannot be created or destroyed, but instead changes in form.

What is the Law of Conservation of Energy? 
500

When we walk, Our feet push against the ground with a certain amount of force. According to Newton's 3rd law, the ground pushes back against our feet with this amount of force.

What is the opposite amount? or What is the same amount of force?

500

This form of energy is found in objects who's molecules are vibrating faster due to an increase in temperature.

What is Thermal Energy?

500

Both Sir Isaac Newton & Rube Goldberg were this thing, which describes people who create new things to help people or perform a task.

What is an Inventor?

500

In the Rube Goldberg Machine experiment, the focus was placed on the transference of energy by objects making contact with each other to complete what task?

What is to roll a die/Dice?
