What is the equation of force and what is the unit called.
What is F = m *a and Newtons
100
The type of friction that occurs when you push on an object and it doesn't move.
What is static friction.
100
The horizontal acceleration due to gravity.
What is 9.81 m/s^2
100
When is an objects momentum equal to 0 kg*m/s
What is when it is at rest?
100
How many battleship games are there in this room.
What is 4.
200
What is the only major force that acts on a projectile
What is gravity
200
What direction does friction push a motorcycle that traveling east
What is west.
200
If I drop a ball off a cliff, how fast will it be traveling after two seconds.
What is 20 m/s.
200
What is the conservation of momentum?
What is momentum is neither created or destroyed. If a group of objects exerts forces only on each other, their total momentum does not change.
200
What is the atomic number of carbon?
What is 6
300
How is force related to weight and how is it different?
What is force is measured in newtons and force is measured in newtons. Weight equals mass times the acceleration to gravity. Force equals mass times any acceleration.
300
Why is it harder to start a car rolling than it is to keep it rolling?
What is static friction is stronger than rolling friction.
300
Why do objects look like they are floating in space? Remember at 400 km above the surface, gravity is still 90% of what it is at the surface of the earth.
What is that the objects are in free fall, moving around the earth.
300
An elephant and an ant have the same momentum. Which animal is traveling faster.
What is the ant?
300
What is a person's average reaction time in our lab?
What is around 1/10 to 2/10 of a second.
400
As force increases what happens to the acceleration of an object.
What is increase.
400
A micro-weld does what?
What is the small imperfections on a surface that cause friction.
400
In the reaction time lab we tried to catch a meter stick as soon as we saw it fall. How did we determine the reaction time. Ie. What data did we collect to figure this out.
What is distance and acceleration due to gravity.
400
A plane is taking off from the airport. What is giving it momentum?
What is the engine?
400
What is newton's 3rd law?
What is for every action force, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
500
How fast does a 0.5 kg football have to accelerate in order to create a force of 10 newtons?
What is 20 m/s^2
500
If I push a 2.0 kg book across a table with a force of 10 N and with a rate of acceleration at 1.0 m/s^2 what is the force of friction?
What is 8 Newtons

What are the three main factors that affect wind resistance?
What is speed, shape, and size.
500
A 50 kg clown is shot out of a cannon at 20 m/s. What is the recoil speed of the cannon if it has a mass of 250 kg?
What is 4 m/s?
500
If two variables are inversely related then one variable will be large and the other variable will be?
What is small.
