An object at rest will remain at rest, unless acted on by an unbalanced force. An object in motion continues in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an external force. (This law is often called “the law of inertia.” Which Law is this? 

First Law

100

What pulls objects down to the ground and makes it difficult to fly things in the air.

Gravity

100

What does it mean when an object has reflectional symmetry?



Object will look exactly the same if it is reflected across a line of symmetry. Mirror Image 

100

when was the first rocket invented and where?

1100 AD in china

200

Launching a rocket relies on which law?

Third Law

200

What force pulls someone or something along forcefully, roughly or with difficulty?

Drag

200

What's it mean if something is symmetrical? 

The same on both sides

200

What shape do rockets need to have that will allow them to cut through the air easily?

Aerodynamic shape

300

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. What law is this? 

Third Law

300

What is explained as a strong push that can cause your object to move upward against gravity?

Thrust

300

What's it mean if something is asymmetrical? 

having two sides that are not the same

300

Rocket engines burn a combination of chemicals called what? 

Propellant

400

A stationary object with no outside force will not move. What law does this refer to? 

First Law

400

What force deflects air downward, and the reaction pushes the wing up? 

Lift

400

Snowflakes are not white nor blue, they are? 

Translucent 

400

Friction between the object in the air and the air itself that causes things to slow down is referred to as what?

Air resistance

500

Acceleration is produced when a force acts on a mass. The greater the mass (of the object being accelerated), the greater the amount of force needed (to accelerate the object).Which law is this? 

Second Law

500

if something can  easily travel through the air with very low air resistance that would be referred as?

Aerodynamics

500

How many points do snowflakes typically have?

6

What speed do rockets have to reach to be stronger than gravity? This is known as escape velocity. 

7 miles per second or 25,000 miles per hour.
