Final Jeopardy
Forces & Friction for 100
Which of the following is NOT an example of
exerting a force on an object: pushing a button,
punching a mascot, running to school? What
effect do unbalanced forces have on an object’s
motion?
Running to School (not exerting a force)
Unbalanced forces change an object’s motion.
Forces & Friction for 200
An object is falling toward the Earth at 9.3
m/s/s. Why is the object not falling at 9.8
m/s/s? In general, what type of force resists
any object’s motion in the opposite
direction?
Air Resistance
Friction
Forces & Friction for 300
What force typically causes momentum to
seem like it was NOT conserved?
Example- the collision of two hockey
players.
Friction
Forces & Friction for 400

friction is helpful.
Oiling a machine or bike, waxing a
snowboard, using a cart with wheels to
move an object

net force on the object? What is the net force?
How could you balance the forces on the object?

and is the only force acting on an object in
free-fall is ___________.
Gravity

Suppose a planet with a mass of 100.5 x 1024 kg was
discovered. Based upon the data above, what is a possible
value for the gravitational pull of this new planet?
Any value from 1.1 to 2.3 would be correct. The best
values would be between 1.1 and 1.5.
Gravity for 400
Bob and Joe believe that heavier objects fall faster. They
design an experiment to test out their prediction. What is
their hypothesis? How should they design the
experiment? What is ONE variable that Bob and Joe
should try to keep constant? Give answer verbally.
Hypothesis- Heavier objects fall faster.
Design- Drop objects of different masses and
determine their acceleration (or the time it takes for
them to hit the ground).
Constants- Height of the drop, air/wind resistance (if
possible), same timer or timekeeper, etc.

DAILY DOUBLE!
Three satellites are orbiting the Earth. The
distance from Earth is 6,000 km for Satellite
A; 10,000 km for Satellite B; and 35,800
km for Satellite C. Which one would Earth
have the greatest attraction for? Explain
why.
Satellite A because it’s the closest.
Newton’s Laws 1 & 2 for 100
The ability of an object to resist a change in
motion is called ___________.
Inertia
Newton’s Laws 1 & 2 for 200
What types of objects have the greatest
inertia? What do objects in motion tend to
do? What do objects at rest tend to do?
Heavier objects
Objects in motion tend to stay in motion
Objects at rest tend to stay at rest
Newton’s Laws 1 & 2 for 300
An object accelerates at 4 meters per second2 for a
force of 20 N. How much force is needed for an
acceleration of 40 m/s/s for the same object? If
the amount of force on a heavy object is the same
as the amount of force on a lighter object, then
which object will have the lower acceleration?
10x the acceleration for a constant mass = 10x the
force, so 200 N
The heavier object will have the lower
acceleration.
Newton’s Laws 1 & 2 for 400

F = 100 kg x 9.8 m/s/s
F = 980 N

DAILY DOUBLE!!!
Give two real world examples of Newton’s 1st
Law (you may do this verbally instead of writing
it down).
A car stops and your body moves forward, a car
takes off and your body moves backward, etc.
Newton’s 3rd Law & Momentum

According to Newton’s 3rd Law, for every action
there is an _________ and ________ reaction.
For every action there is an equal and opposite
reaction.
Newton’s 3rd Law & Momentum
for 200
What are the action-reaction forces when a
carpenter hammers a nail?
Action = hammer striking the nail
Reaction = nail pushes back on the hammer
Newton’s 3rd Law & Momentum
for 300
How is momentum calculated?
True or False. Change the underlined
word to make it true. The momentum of an
object is in the OPPOSITE direction of that
object’s velocity.
Momentum = mass x velocity
False, momentum is in the SAME direction as
the object’s velocity.
Newton’s 3rd Law &
Momentum for 400
If the total momentum after a collision is 10 kg x
m/s, then what was the total momentum before
the collision? Explain how you know.
10 kg x m/s because momentum is conserved
(remains the same and is not lost, only
transferred)
Newton’s 3rd Law & Momentum
for 500
How can an object’s momentum increase?
Provide 2 ways.
Moving faster or higher velocity
Greater the mass, the higher the
momentum
