Kinematics
Speed with direction.
What is velocity?
The force that pulls objects toward Earth.
What is gravity?
The ability to do work.
What is energy?
The force that keeps planets in orbit.
What is gravity?
This planet in our solar system has the shortest day (fastest rotation).
What is Jupiter?
This is the number of years Mrs. Shepherd has been teaching at Onalaska.
What is 2?
The equation for acceleration.
What is change in velocity divided by time?
Newton’s First Law is also called this.
What is the law of inertia?
Energy of motion.
What is kinetic energy?
Why do objects in orbit appear weightless?
What is they are in continuous free fall around Earth?
This is the main reason we experience seasons on Earth.
What is the tilt of Earth's axis?
Mrs. Shepherd attended this college/university.
What is CC, WGU, EWU, or CWU?
A car travels 60 m in 5 s. What is its average speed?
What is 12 m/s?
Calculate force: mass = 10 kg, acceleration = 3 m/s²
What is 30 N?
A stretched rubber band has what type of energy?
What is potential (elastic) energy?
What shape is the orbit of most planets around the Sun?
What is an ellipse?
Why do ships float even though steel is denser than water?
What is because the ship’s overall density (including air spaces) is less than water, due to displacement (Archimedes’ principle)?
This is Mrs. Shepherd's favorite color.
What is pink?
A ball is dropped from rest. After 3 seconds (ignoring air resistance), what is its approximate velocity?
What is 29.4 m/s downward?
A book resting on a table is an example of what type of force situation?
What is balanced forces (equilibrium)?
If velocity doubles, kinetic energy changes by what factor?
What is 4 times?
If the distance between two objects doubles, the gravitational force between them becomes:
What is 1/4 as strong?
What gas makes up the majority of Earth’s atmosphere?
What is nitrogen?
Before becoming a science teacher, Mrs. Shepherd considered this career.
What is dermatology or english teacher?
A graph shows a straight horizontal line on a velocity vs. time graph. What does this indicate about the object’s motion?
What is constant velocity (zero acceleration)?
A hockey puck slides on ice and eventually stops. What force causes this even though no one is pushing it?
What is friction?
A 2 kg object is lifted 5 m. What type of energy increases, and what force does work against it?
What is gravitational potential energy, and gravity?
A satellite moves faster when it is closer to Earth in its orbit. What principle explains this change in speed?
What is conservation of angular momentum?
A scientist claims: “Since my experiment worked once, my hypothesis is proven true.” What is the most scientifically accurate critique of this statement?
What is that one successful experiment does not prove a hypothesis; it only supports it, and results must be reproducible?
This is Mrs. Shepherd's birthday
What is August 18th?
