Phil and Zach’s Phun Physics Game

True or false

• More power is needed to carry a heavy suitcase up a flight of stairs than is needed to carry the same suitcase faster up the same flight of stairs.

False

• Ten points to the person who got that right

What two things does work depend on

1. Force and change in velocity

2. Force and change in time

3. Force and change in distance

4. The velocity of my Vomit

The answer was 3

• 5 points to the person who got that right

• The work is how much force due to how far you are going with it

Samantha is rollerblading down the street pushing against the pavement with a force of 50N for 20m Sam’s mass is 60kg and she starts with a

velocity of 3m/s. What was the ammount of work she did?

1. 967J

2. 1000J

3. 3000J

4. 60J

The answer was 2.

• 15 points to the person who answered it.

• You use the work equasion W=FX

What is the energy an object has by virtue of its location?

1. Energy drinks

2. Velocity

3. Gravity over time

4. Potential Energy

The answer was 4.

• 10 points to the person who answered

• The PE is dependant on how much energy you could have

What is the energy an object has by virtue of its motion?

1. Kinetic energy

2. The promise of a date with Brittany Spears

3. Gravity

4. 6 Ohms

The answer was 1.

• 10 points to the person who answered

• Kinetic energy is the energy due to motion

A roller coaster is released from point W. At which point does it

have the max velocity?

The answer is at point X.

• 2 points to the person who got that right.

• At point your velocity was acceleration was steepest

At which point in the roller coaster have the most PE… how

about the most KE?

PE=W KE=X

• Two points to the person who got that right

• W has the best chance for potential movement and x it moving the most kenetically

In order to calculate potential energy what three factors do you

need?1. Mass, gravity and if you have methane

emissions

2. Gravity, mass, and length

3. Gravity, Mass and height

4. Sunlight mixed with sugar and spice and everything nice

The answer was 3

• #4 was the recipe for power puff girls

• 5 points to the person who got that right

• Those three factors help to find the total energy

When an object is falling is the potential energy…

1. Not Important

2. Increasing

3. Buying me a chili cheese dawg

4. Decreasing

The answer was 4

• 5 points to the person who answered that right

• /the higher you go the more PE you have so if you go down you have less PE

Newton pushes a 30kg box up a 2 meter high plank how much Potential energy does the box have at the

top?

1. 588J

2. 236J

3. 894J

4. Psht I don’t care he got the box up didn’t he?

The answer was 1

• YAY 10 points to the person who got that right

• You have to take the mass times gravity to find your force due to gravity, then you multiply that by your displacement to find your total PE
