What is WORK?
Do it with a SIMPLE MACHINE!
Those Motion Things
(SPEED, VELOCITY, ACCELERATION)
That Old Guy Newton and his Laws of Motion
Let's calculate!
100

Work only occurs when an object moves in the same this as the force.

What is DIRECTION?

100

There are this many simple machines.

What is 6?

100
Most simply, this is the distance covered over a period of time.

What is the speed?

100

Newton's 1st law deals with this.

What is inertia?

100

This much force is required to accelerate a 66kg skier at 2 m/s2.

What is 132 Newtons?  

200
In the formula for work, w= these two things are present on the other side of the equal sign.

What is force and distance?

200

This simple machine is made of two inclined planes that separate an object. 

What is the wedge?

200

This is the difference between velocity and speed.

What is velocity has direction?  
200

This formula comes from Newton's 2nd law.

What is F = ma?

200

A 50 kg skater accelerates 5 m/s2 when pushed by a friend.  The friend exerted this much force.

What is 250 Newtons?

300

This is the unit for work, also known as a NewtonMeter.

What is the Joule?

300

This simple machine helps most when lifting things from one height to a higher height and is often slanted. 

What is the Inclined Plane?  

300

When velocity changes in a certain time period, either by the speed changing up or down or the direction changing, it is this.

What is acceleration? 

300

When one force acts on an object, there is an equal and opposite force that pushes back on that force.

What is Newton's 3rd Law?  
300

Tommy does 15 Joules of work to push the pencil 1 meter.  He used this much force.

What is 15 Newtons?

400

This is the amount of work an elephant does while moving a circus wagon 20 meters with a pulling force of 200 N. 

What is 4,000 Joules?

400

These are combinations of simple machines.

What are Compound Machines?

400

When Jane took 45 minutes to bicycle 4km to her aunt’s house, her velocity in km/hr?  (Hint you have to do one time conversion from minutes to an hour.  (There are 60 minutes in an hour.)

What is 5.33 km/hr?  

400

Unbalanced forces cause an object at rest to do this.

What is move?  

400

A girl is pedaling her bicycle at a speed of 0.10km/min. She will travel this far in 40 minutes. 

What is 4km?

500

This is the amount of force the player used to hit the ball when there was 1234 Joules of work done over a distance of 100 meters away from home plate.  

What is 12.34 Newtons?  

500

If I am trying to move a heavy object from one side of the yard to another, I might use something with this simple machine.

What is the wheel and axle?  

500

This is the velocity of a car that traveled 75 km north in 1.5 hours.  (Hint: your answer should be in km/hr with a direction.)

What is 50 km/hr north?

500

This law tells why a person in a car that has just stopped will keep going.

What is Newton's 1st law?

500

Beth and Bob do 45,000 Joules of work when moving a heavy piece of furniture (300N) across this distance.

What is 150 meters?
