Fundamentals Of Physics Question Paper
Directions: You and your group must answer the following questions according to the expectations below:
All answers MUST BE IN COMPLETE SENTENCES!
Submit one document (slide presentation) in which all partners have collaborated.
Cite all references used.
Not all questions are worth the same amount of points. Questions 1-24 are worth 3 points each. Question 25 is worth 8 points.
Be aware that you will be asked to rate your group and individual partners tomorrow. (Worth 25 points)
This will be a 70% percent grade and is due at the end of class tomorrow 5/16/17. (Please note that we have a test review tomorrow, so class time will be limited.)

ESPN is creating a video series around the physics of sport. You are a skateboarder in the X-Games and you have been asked to explain to ESPN viewers your gravity defying performances. You will have to include four stunts identifying at least one of Newton’s Laws of Motion for each stunt and you need to use all three laws at least once. Write your response to ESPN explaining your gravity defying performances. Identify which law of motion applies to each of the four stunts using each law at least once. http://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/energy-skate-park (Simulation of skate park) http://www.nbclearn.com/nhl/cuecard/56615 (The physics of sport) http://xgames.espn.go.com/video/9522955/big-air (Example of the physics behind a
