The unit for force

What is a Newton?

100

A numerical measure of its inertia; a  measure of the amount of matter in the object? m = Fg/g

What is the mass?

100
Newtons 3rd law
What is when a force is exerted an equal force is acting in the opposite direction
100

The formula to calculate speed

What is speed = distance/time?

100

This is a vibration that propagates as an acoustic wave through a transmission medium such as a gas, liquid or solid

What is sound?

200

The energy of motion

What is Kinetic energy?

200

An objects tendency to stay in motion or at rest

What is inertia

200

He is often referred to as one of the "Founding Fathers" of modern physics. 

Who is Sir Isaac Newton

200

"Every object retains its state of rest or state of uniform straight line motion unless acted on by an unbalanced force"

What is Newton's First Law?

200

This law is a formulation of the law of conservation of energy in the context of thermodynamic processes.

What is the first law of thermodynamics?

300

The rate at which velocity changes

What is acceleration?

300
the attractive force that acts on all objects everywhere
What is gravity
300

This is represented by the measure of energy transfer that occurs when an object is moved over a distance or W = Fd*cos(angle)

What is work.

300

The motion of an object when it is not touching anything and is experiencing no air resistance.

What is free fall?

300

This is a reaction in which the nucleus of an atom splits into two or more smaller nuclei

Fission

400

The unit for work and energy

What is the Joule?

400
The equation for force
What is F = MA
400

The force of gravity on the object and may be defined as the mass times the acceleration of gravity, Fg = mg

What is weight?

400

The difference between speed & velocity

What is that velocity is a vector/has a direction?

400

Visible light, x-rays, and radio waves are all this type of energy

What is Electromagnetic?

500

The distance traveled by a car traveling at 40 km/h for 30 minutes

What is 20 km?

500

The mass (with correct unit) of an object that is traveling at 20m/s^2 and has a force of 10,000N 

M = F/A

M= 10,000 / 20

M= 500kg

500

This scientific "principle" states that the acceleration of an object is dependent upon two variables - the net force acting upon the object and the mass of the object. OR F=M*A

What is Newton's 2nd Law

500

This is why astronauts would feel lighter on planets like Mercury and Mars.

What is the downward gravitational force on those planets is smaller (weaker).

500

This type of nuclear reaction fuels our sun

What is fusion?
