Patterns
Draw the four patterns and label them
see the board
What do the variables x, v, a, and t stand for?
x = displacement
v = velocity
a = acceleration
t = time
What is the formula for GPE?
m*g*h
Which planet in our solar system has the highest average temperature?
Venus (Average temperature is 464°C / 867°F, compared with Earth: 15°C / 59°F)
What flag is hanging on Mr. W's wall?
Portland's City Flag
The relationship between static force and the displacement of a spring.
Linear/Proportional
What is Newton's First Law of Motion?
Objects in motion stay in motion
What is the first law of thermodynamics?
Energy can be neither created nor destroyed, only converted.
How many teaspoons are there in one cup?
48
Lionel Messi kicks a ball straight up into the air. Draw a FBD for the ball 0.5 seconds after the kick.

The relationship between the period of a pendulum (how much time it takes to complete a cycle) and the release angle.
Horizontal
A person runs at a constant rate of 8 m/s . How much distance will they cover in 10 minutes?
4800 m
(8 m/s * 10 min * 60 s/min)
Draw and label a diagram showing the Barbie Bungee Jump 1) at the top, 2) as she is falling, and 3) at the bottom. Label the types of energy present at each stage.

How many moons does Mars have?
2 (Phobos and Deimos)
What is the fastest human-made object? (Hint: there are 2 possible answers, and I'll accept either one.)
1) The Voyager probes (Voyager 1 is slightly faster than Voyager 2)
2) A manhole cover launched by a nuclear test explosion in 1957
The relationship between the height and width of the paragraph in Lab 1.4
Inverse
Define acceleration
acceleration is the change in velocity over time
Bonus question!
Identify at least 5 different kinds of energy we have discussed in class.
Identify more than 5 and get an extra 100 bonus points per additional kind of energy you can name.

Bonus question (no penalty for wrong guesses):
What is the oldest professional sports trophy in North America? (You can name either the sport or the trophy. 100 bonus points if you name both.)
The Stanley Cup
In what year was the last major eruption of Mt. St Helens?
1980
The pattern on an x/t graph of an object accelerating at a constant rate.
Quadratic
Challenge question! (No point loss for guessing wrong).
A boat is pointed East across a river, and is motoring at a rate of 4 m/s. The river is flowing south at a rate of 3 m/s. How fast is the boat moving, and in what direction?
5 m/s to the SE
What does the spring constant (“k value”) of a spring represent?
The "stretchiness" of a spring. (High k values = harder to stretch.)
Which planet in our solar system has the lowest density?
Saturn (light enough to float in water)
Bonus question (no penalty for wrong guesses):
In what year did the Mariners last win a world series?
The Mariners have never won the World Series.
