Side A ------ Side B
What is potential energy? ------ Energy due to position or condition (stored energy). Example: holding a rock at the top of a roof
What is kinetic energy? ------ Energy in motion 
Example: a ball going through a hoop
What is an example of a first class lever? ------ A seesaw - fulcrum is in the middle.
What are some examples of simples machines? ------ Inclined Plane, Lever, Pulley, Wedge, Wheel and Axle
What is does the law of the conservation of energy tell us? ------ Whatever energy you put in is the same amount of energy you get back.  No energy disappears or is added. 
If a man lifts a box onto a truck and another man pushes the same box up an inclined plane into the truck - Who does more work? ------ Neither - they both do the same amount of work.  Work = Force x Distance
What is Newton's 3rd Law? ------ For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
What is Newton's 2nd Law? ------ Force = Mass x Acceleration
What is Newton's 1st Law? ------ An object in motion stays in motion until acted on by another force?
How does a lever make work easier? ------ A longer lever increases the distance reduces the the force.
W = Force x Distance
What is an example of a 2nd class lever? ------ A wheelbarrow.  Fulcrum is at the end, resistance is in the middle, effort is at the end.
What kind of simple machine is a screw? ------ An inclined plane wrapped around a cylinder.
What is an example of a 3rd class lever? ------ A shovel. Fulcrum at one end, effort force in the middle, resistance at the end.
If a large brick and a small rock were dropped at the same time, which would hit the ground first? ------ Both will hit the ground at the same time because gravity is pushing them at the same rate.
What does aerodynamic mean? ------ It means that an object has very little drag/air resistance.
What type of nose cone worked best in our rocket tests? ------ A pointed cone worked the best.
Why does a rocket need wings? ------ To stabilize the rocket
Where does some energy go when we do work? ------ It turns into heat.
How does a pulley make work easier? ------ It changes the direction of the force.
