---|---|---|---|---|
What is how gravity affects objects that are moving horizontally?
It pulls an object to the center of the earth the same way it pull a dropped object.
|
What is gravity?
A force that pulls objects toward each other.
|
What is air resistance?
This force is why a sky diver uses a parachute.
|
What is mass and velocity?
What you must know to determine a object's momentum
|
What is a barometer?
A device used to measure atmospheric pressure.
|
What is free fall?
When the only force acting on a falling object is gravity.
|
What is weight?
The force of gravity on a person or object at the surface of a planet.
|
What is zero?
The velocity of a parked train.
|
What is momentum?
A "quantity of motion".
|
Who is Archimedes?
This man's Principle states: that the buoyant force acting on a submerged object is equal to the weight of the fluid the object displaces.
|
What is air resistance?
This is why an oak leaf flutters to the ground and an acorns drops straight down.
|
What is the moon's mass is less than Earth's?
This is why you weigh less on the moon than on Earth.
|
What is why we should leave more distance when traveling at faster speeds?
Cars traveling at faster speeds have more momentum and are more difficult to stop than cars traveling at slower speeds.
|
What is mass x velocity?
The formula for momentum.
|
What is the formula for pressure?
Force divided by Area.
|
What is terminal velocity?
When an object continues to fall but its velocity remains constant.
|
What is mass?
The amount of matter in an object.
|
What is what would happen if you tried to catch a ball on roller skates?
When you caught the ball, you (with the ball in your hand) would move in the direction of the ball's initial motion.
|
What is the Law of Conservation of Momentum?
The Law that states: In the absence of outside forces, the total momentum of objects that interact does not change.
|
Who is Bernoulli?
This man's Principle is why the ball stayed up with a leaf blower.
|
What is surface area?
A larger ____________ is why a crumpled piece of paper falls faster than a flat piece dropped at the same time.
|
What is decreases?
For a spacecraft traveling toward Mars, Earth's gravitational pull ______________, as the spacecrafts distance from Earth increases.
|
Who is Mrs Urbonas?
The best teacher in the whole world for playing this game with you.
|
What is Momentum?
This is a characteristic of a moving object equal to the product of its mass and its velocity.
|
What is how an atomizer works?
The difference is pressure between the top and bottom of the tube draws the fluid upward.
