Tahoma Jeopardy!
Force and Motion Edition

2. Directions:
Scroll through the presentation and enter the answers (which are really the questions) and the questions (which are really the answers).
Enter in the categories on the main game boards.
As you play the game, click on the TEXT DOLLAR AMOUNT that the contestant calls, not the surrounding box.
When they have given a question, click again anywhere on the screen to see the correct question. Keep track of which questions have already been picked by printing out the game board screen and checking off as you go.
Click on the “Game” box to return to the main scoreboard.
Enter the score into the black box on each players podium.
Continue until all clues are given.
When finished, DO NOT save the game. This will overwrite the program with the scores and data you enter. You MAY save it as a different name, but keep this file untouched!

25. How does a cars mass affect the force of impact in a collision?
$100
How does a cars mass affect the force of impact in a collision?

26. $100
Newton’s second law states F=ma. If the mass of a car is increased and the acceleration remains the same, the force must increase
Scores

27. What must you do to an object if you want it to accelerate more?
$200
What must you do to an object if you want it to accelerate more?

28. $200
If you want an object to accelerate more and its mass remains the same, you must apply a larger force
F=ma

29. $300
What does Newton’s third law tell us about the force we exert on a chair?

30. The chair exerts an equal force back?
$300
The chair exerts an equal force back?

31. What law best explains why a crumple zone in a car helps save lives?
$400
What law best explains why a crumple zone in a car helps save lives?

32. $400
Second
f=ma
The time of impact is increased which decreases the acceleration. Since the mass of the car remains the same, it also decreases the force.
Scores
