Newton's Laws
This law states that an object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion at a constant velocity unless acted upon by an external force.
First Law
The overall sum of forces acting on an object when all the individual forces acting on it are combined
Net Force
Potential or Kinetic Energy: A ball is held 2 meters above the ground, ready to be dropped.
PE
The term for materials that allow no light to pass through them
opaque
C-6 (as in C6H12O6 like glucose)
This law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction
Third Law
Forces that are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction, resulting in a net force of zero
Balanced forces
What has more potential energy: A 10 kg object being held 20 meters off the ground or a 10 kg object being held 250 meters off the ground?
One held 250 meters off the ground
When light waves bounce off matter, changing direction
Reflection
Mr. Schoon's favorite class period
Period 3 (prep)
This law states that the force of an object is based on the product of its mass and acceleration
Second Law
Forces that are unequal in magnitude and can cause an object to change its motion
Unbalanced forces
This is a key difference between kinetic and potential energy
Energy in motion vs stored energy
Would also accept formulas/variables differences
The flower petals absorb the other colors and reflect orange
The name of one of the Hobbits in The Lord of the Rings
Frodo, Sam, Merry, Pippin, or Bilbo
These are the units for force
Newtons
Two people push a box. One person pushes it with a force of 10 Newtons to the right, and one person pushes it with a force of 15 Newtons to the left. What is the net force and direction the box moves, if at all?
5 N to the left
These are the units for Energy
Joules (J)
The separation of white light into its component colors
Dispersion
This is the number I'm thinking of
2
Bottle rockets are propelled upward due to the force of water and air expelled from the rocket towards the ground. This is an example of which law?
Third law
The effect on the force of gravitational attraction between two objects, such as planets, when the distance between them increases
Gravity weakens as the distance between two objects increases, meaning the further apart two objects are, the less gravitational pull they exert on each other
The relationship between PE and KE as a rollercoaster moves from the top of a hill to the bottom of a hill
The term for materials that allow some, but not all light to pass through them
Translucent
The name of the Los Alisos teacher who was an usher at Mr. Schoon's wedding
Ms. Woodruff
