100

When two objects strike against each other. 

Collision

100

Forces can be measured using this unit of measurement:

Newtons
100

Which of these do NOT affect how much energy an object has? Mass, Height, or Looks? 

Looks

100

What happens to energy during a collison? 

Energy gets transferred from one place to another. 

200

A force that slows objects down or makes them stop. 

Friction

200

This force counteracts gravity. Causing objects to slowly fall towards the earth. 

Air resistance. 

200

If I wanted to make a roller coaster go faster, what changes should I make to it? 

Make it taller, give the cart more mass. 

200

Energy cannot be _______ or _________.

Created, Destroyed

300

Energy that is being used. 

Kinetic Energy

300

Name the 6 forces we have learned about in class. 

Push, Pull, Gravity, Acceleration, Magnetism, Friction

300

When does a roller coaster have the most potential energy? 

At the top of the first hill. 

300

During PE class, Dalton is running and accidentally collides into Salem (who is tying his shoe). How much energy did Dalton transfer to Salem? What happens to Salem? 

Dalton will transfer most of his energy to Salem. Salem will more than likely fall over. 

400

Information scientists collect during experiments that they use as evidence. 

Data

400

Which object would take more force to move? A soccer ball or a bowling ball? Why? 

Bonus 100 points: Which law of motion helps us answer this question? 

Bowling ball, the bowling ball would require more force because it has more mass. 

400

Students are racing outside during recess. Henry is running at 13 miles per hour, Mia is running 6 miles per hour, and Delia is running at 9 miles per hour. Who has the most amount of energy? Why? 

Henry has the most amount of energy because he is traveling at a faster speed.

400
Mr. Shipman and Mr. Loreaux both run into a door to break through it. Who has the best chance to break the door? How do you know? 

Mr. Shipman has the best chance to break through the door because he has more mass. 

500

Something that can be changed or altered to produce a new outcome. 

Variable

500

During the game "Tug of war" both sides are pulling against each other. This is an example of: 

Opposing forces. 

500

At which height will the ball travel the fastest speed? Explain. 

The ball will travel the fastest from 20 feet. I know this because the ball will have more potential energy, and will have more time to accelerate as it falls from the ground. 

500

Newtons first law of motion states an object in motion will stay in motion and an object at rest will stay at rest unless an outside force acts upon it. What is it called when an objects resists change? 

Inertia
