  1. Since the first curved turny-thing that rolls down hills was christened The Wheel, humans have been inventing fancy names for things to make themselves sound clever. How many of the following Mechanics terms can you remember how to interpret? Each paragraph is a Mechanics description of a well-known phrase or saying.

  2. The rigid cylindrical body of uniform density and negligible thickness loses gravitational potential energy. The Penny Drops

  3. Subject a smooth spherical body to a constant acceleration from rest down an inclined plane. Get The Ball Rolling

  4. Apply tension to a number of light inextensible strings. Pull Some Strings

  5. Rotate a uniform flexible lamina through 180 degrees. Turn Over A New Leaf

  6. Decelerate to rest, lose gravitational potential energy, then rotate. Stop, Drop And Roll

  7. Rapidly decelerate to rest, orally, a particle of negligible size moving on a parabolic trajectory. Bite The Bullet

  8. The rough horizontal lamina have been rotated. The Tables Have Turned

  9. Momentum is preserved through a combination of pendular and circular motion. What You Lose On The Swings, You Gain On The Roundabouts
