Cards

Term
Newton's 1st Law
Definition
An object in motion will stay in motion unless a force acts on the object. An object at rest will stay at rest unless a force acts on the object.
Term
Newton's 2nd law
Definition

F=ma

Force = mass * acceleration

Term

Newton's 3rd Law

 

Definition
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction
Term
Inertia
Definition
The tendency of an object to resist a change in motion.
Term

Examples of Newton's 1st Law

Definition
Tablecloth trick, meterstick and dominoes
Term

Examples of Newton's Second Law

 

Definition
BLOB, basketball and tennis ball
Term
Examples of Newton's 3rd Law
Definition
Car & dominoes, kicking a soccer ball, domino rally
Term
Gravity
Definition
A force that pulls objects together
Term
Universal Gravitation
Definition
Gravity acts everywhere in the Universe
Term
Factors affecting gravity
Definition
Mass and distance
Term
Weight vs. mass
Definition

Mass is the amount of matter in an object.

Weight is the amount of gravitational force on an object.

Term
Air resistance
Definition

Objects falling through air experience a type of fluid friction.

 

Term
Endothermic and exothermic reactions.
Definition

Endothermic reactions are reactions where enery is taken in.

Exothermic reactions are reactions where energy is released.

Term

Law of conservation of mass

 

Definition
Mass is never created nor destroyed, it is only changed.
Term
Balancing chemical equations
Definition
2 H2 + 1 O2 = 2 H2O
Term

Reflection

Refraction

Diffraction

Interference

Definition

When a wave hits a surface it cannot pass through and bounces off.

When a wave bends around a corner.

When a wave goes around a barrier.

Interaction between waves that meet

Term

Pressure vs. Volume

Pressure vs. Temperature

Temperature vs. Volume

 

Definition

Pressure up, volume down

Pressure down, temperature down

Temperature up, volume up

Term
How atoms move in a solid, liquid, and gas
Definition

Solids: Slow, low movement, close

Liquid: Mid-speed, medium motion, medium distance

Gas: Fast, high movement, far apart

Term
What will happen when the mass or forces are changed?
Definition
The object's acceleration, and therefore speed of motion, will change in proportion to the other variables.
