This is the smallest unit on the metric ladder 

What is milli

100

Calculate PE given this info: 

m = 250g

g = 10N

H = 30m

What is 75,000 J

100

Newton's first law (aka - Law of Inertia)

What is an object at rest will stay at rest; an obj. in motion will stay in motion unless acted on by an outside force. 

200

The unit for acceleration

What is m/s2

200

This energy is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy 

What is total mechanical energy 

200

200

Rank the following from least inertia to most inertia: 

a bowling ball, a mosquito, a car, a basketball, a bowling ball 

What is a mosquito, a basketball, a bowling ball, a car.

300

Which of these, velocity or displacement, are vector quantities

What is both are vector because direction matters

300

The formula for potential energy includes these three magnitudes

What is mass, gravity and height 

300

In the mneumonic King Henry died a miserable, lonely, gruesome death called measles, what does the d, c & m stand for?

What is deci, centi and milli

300

Calculate momentum of a 2000 truck traveling at 30 m/s.

What is p = mv  60,000kg*m/s

300

Complete the statement below according to Newton's 3rd law:  Mrs. Bovery pushed down on the desk...


What is the desk pushed UP on Mrs. Bovery 

400

The symbol for momentum

What is p

400

Because velocity is squared in the formula for kinetic energy, an increase in velocity will have a greater impact on KE than a change in mass.  T/F
