What is "the Grid"?
an interconnected network for delivering electricity from the producers to the consumers
100
What is Newton's 1st Law of Motion?
An object at rest, stays at rest and and an object in motion, stays in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
100
What is Inertia?
An object's resistance to changing its motion
100
What is Contact Forces?
Interactions between objects that touch ( example-baseball bat and ball)

What is "living off the grid"?
Living free of any reliance on a utility such as electricity, city water, city sewer systems, city garbage pickup,or natural gas provided by a utility company.
200
What is Newton's 2nd Law of Motion?
The acceleration of an object depends on two variables; the net force acting upon another and the mass of the object.
200
What is Velocity?
The speed and direction of an object.
200
What is Non-Contact Forces?
Those forces that attract and repel, even from a distance (example- a magnet, or gravitational force)

What is Newton's 3rd Law of Motion?
For every action (force) in nature, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
300
What is Acceleration?
The amount of change in an object's velocity (speed and direction)
300
What is an Unbalanced Force?
An unopposed force that caused changes in the direction of the motion
