Good mindbender, @Mi-Amigo - less of the answers "jumped out", unlike Monday's one.
Better start revising Hooke's Law and CAV/CLV (circular motion) formulae 😝Funnily enough, Hooke's Law was on the quiz game Impossible yesterday
Yes, I saw it too @Cleoriff
Thank you Beeb for giving a question and answer which I had in my list ready to use...
I`ll have to dig out my old quiz book and see what I can find as I now know we have qualified physicist @jonsie amongst us

Pleased I got Anja correct @Mi-Amigo 
It's been probably close to 10 years since I've watched Buffy properly so I'm proud of remembering this! Looking forward to the next quiz thanks @Mi-Amigo and I am terrified of the physics question already. Can you make it a pre-schoolers' physics question by any chance?
