1.No talking during the question and answer phase. If you talk, the result will be the loss of one lifeline. 2.There are a total of 3 lifelines: 50/50, ask your group, or phone a principal.3.Cheering after a question or answer phase is encouraged. 4.Have fun!

The Rules

What is mass?A)How much something

weighsB)The amount of matter

in somethingC)How you measure

forceD)A type of force that

happens when two things rub togetherThe answer is

B.

What is Inertia?

A)Forces that are equal in size but opposite in direction

B)A push or a pullC)Change in speed or

directionD)The tendency of an

object to stay at rest or in motionThe answer

is D.

What is friction?

A)A numerator over a denominator

B)Speed and directionC)A force that happens

when things rub against each other

D)Change in position

The answer is C.

Give two examples of

inertia.

What is Newton’s first law of motion?

The answer is B!

A)Something at rest wants to move

B)An object at rest wants to stay at rest-- An object

in motion wants to stay in motion

C)Force = Mass x Acceleration

D)For every action force there is a reaction

Why do some objects have more inertia than

others?A)Because they are

strongerB)Because they are

further away from gravity

C)Because they have more mass

D)Because they are favorites

The answer is C.

What is necessary to put an object that is resting

into motion?

A)A push or a pullB)Speed and distanceC)A change in velocityD)A really big defensive

playerThe answer is A.

Once an object is in motion, what is an example of a force that would slow it

down?

Would a moving object in outer

space slow down? Why?

Use Newton’s first law of motion to explain why you

should wear a seat belt in a moving

car.

What is the formula for calculating

speed?A)Time/DistanceB)Velocity/MilesC)Friction/ForceD)Distance/Time

The answer is D.

What is velocity?

How do you calculate

acceleration?
