Who developed the three laws of motion, and is famous for having an apple fall on his head? 

Newton

100

What is the force that pulls stuff to earth?

Gravity

100

What do you call the energy an object has when it is moving?

Kinetic Energy

100

What is the greatest club at LW?

Obvious

200

Convert 3.5 km to centimeters.

350,000 or 3.5x105 cm

200

Who primarily developed the theory of relativity, and explained the photoelectric effect?

Albert Einstein

200

How do you calculate force, according to Newton's second law?

F=ma

200

Describe the law of Conservation of Energy.

Energy cannot be created nor destroyed - only transferred

200

Name the officers.

Jay, Saihaj, Ethan, Faustin, Isabella

300

What is the approximate value of acceleration due to Earth's gravity (g)? Round to the nearest tenth.

9.8 m/s2 (if you didn't add units you don't get the point)

300
Who created a model for the atom that involved electrons orbiting the nucleus in rings, much like the planets orbiting the sun?

Niels Bohr

300

This force opposes an applied force and resists motion between two touching surfaces.

Friction

300

How do you calculate gravitational potential energy?

U = mgh

300

Name our advisors.

Mr. Elliot and Mr. Lamy

Convert 72 km/h to m/s.

20 m/s

400

Who created an equation that measures the force of attraction/repulsion between two charges, and has the unit of electric charge named after him?

Charles-Augustin de Coulomb

400

Which one of Newton's laws states that an object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion unless acted on by an external force?

First

400

A 100W lightbulb uses how many Joules of energy in 10s?

1,000J

What is the speed of light in a vacuum? (in m/s)

3.0x108 m/s

500

This physicist has a series of famous equations regarding electric and magnetic fields named after him. His last name is the same as the first name of a certain physics teacher at LW.

Maxwell
500

Faustin is pushing a 100g object along a flat and frictionless surface. Faustin exerts constant a force of 0.01N parallel to the surface on the object. What is the magnitude of acceleration the object experiences?

0.1 m/s2

500

A tank weighing 40,000 kg is zooming down the highway at a constant speed of 20 m/s. What is its kinetic energy?

8,000,000 J
