Modified Newtonian dynamics quiz: 3 questions
Three questions on the Modified Newtonian dynamics card, the way WikiCards duels ask them. Pick an answer, the facts are just below.
Find the missing word
The ______ has received little attention compared to the modified gravity version.
Answer
latter. The latter has received little attention compared to the modified gravity version. From the Modified Newtonian dynamics article on Wikipedia.
Which of these cards hits hardest (highest ATK)?
Answer
International recognition of Abkhazia and South Ossetia. International recognition of Abkhazia and South Ossetia 95 · 486958 Arrokoth 89 · Modified Newtonian dynamics 85 · Musa al-Kazim 79 ATK in WikiCards.
Which of these Wikipedia articles is read the most in a year?
Answer
486958 Arrokoth. 486958 Arrokoth 130,000 · Musa al-Kazim 100,000 · Modified Newtonian dynamics 55,000 · 10 Hygiea 43,000 Wikipedia reads over a year.
In a duel, each round asks a question like these about the opposing card, with 15 seconds to answer.
The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Modifying Newton's law of gravity results in modified gravity, while modifying Newton's second law results in modified inertia.
- The latter has received little attention compared to the modified gravity version.
- Its primary motivation is to explain galaxy rotation curves without invoking dark matter, and is one of the most well-known theories of this class.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Modified Newtonian dynamics article was read about 55,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 85 and blocks with 94: each hit it takes is cut by 38 %.
How to get Modified Newtonian dynamics
Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
