Question
Answer
An airplane flies past a bird. What is the reference point?   The bird...the plane is faster so it MOVES past the bed  
🗑
2 factors that determine speed   distance and time  
🗑
Difference between speed and velocity   direction  
🗑
Example of a balanced force   Picture hanging on a wall  
🗑
DIFFERENCE between a force and work   You can apply a force without causing an object to move...WORK requires that the object moves.  
🗑
What does an unbalanced force cause?   Change in speed and/or direction  
🗑
Friction   opposes motion  
🗑
Increases Friction   Sand on ice  
🗑
Decreases Friction   Oil  
🗑
Law of Universal Gravitation   ALL matter has mass and ALL mass is affected by gravity  
🗑
Relationship between mass, distance, and gravity   As mass increases, gravity increases. As distance increases, gravity decreases  
🗑
weight   measure of gravitational force  
🗑
weight   is NOT constant  
🗑
weight   measured in Newtons  
🗑
Net Force   Combination of all forces acting on an object  
🗑
Acceleration due to gravity   All falling objects accelerate towards the earth at 9.8 m/s/s  
🗑
Freefall   The only force acting on an object is gravity  
🗑
Freefall   makes an astronaut appear weightless  
🗑
momentum   depends on mass and velocity  
🗑
Bumper cars collide. The momentum of the faster car...   decreases as the velocity of the slower car increases  
🗑
Newton's 1st Law   A moving object that is not acted on will continue moving  
🗑
Newton's 1st Law   An object at rest will remain at rest  
🗑
Projectile Motion   Combination of horizontal force and vertical force  
🗑
A dart's vertical force is a result of...   gravity  
🗑
A dart's horizontal force is a result of...   the person throwing it  
🗑
When playing darts, aim high because of...   projectile motion  
🗑
When you swim and push against the wall of the pool, this is an example of...   Newton's 3rd Law  
🗑
Work output   Work done on an object by a machine  
🗑
Work input   Work done by you on a machine  
🗑
mechanical efficiency   comparison of work output to work input  
🗑
Work done on an object depends on ...   force applied and distance the object moved  
🗑
How does a ramp make work easier   By increasing the distance and decreasing the force you have to apply  
🗑
Formula for work   Force x distance  
🗑
What is mechanical advantage?   Force output (force the machine applies) / Force input (force you apply to the machine)  
🗑
You apply 10 N of force to a wheel barrow. the wheel barrow applies 50 N of force to a boulder. What is the Mechanical Advantage of the wheel barrow?   MA=WO/WI MA=50N/10N MA=5  
🗑
Difference between a fixed and moveable pulley.   Fixed pulley only changes direction of the force...mechanical advantage is always 1  
🗑
Material that allows charges to move easily   Conductor  
🗑
Material that does not allow charges to flow easily   Insulator  
🗑
Loss of static electricity and charges move off of it   electric discharge  
🗑
Part of a cell where charges enter and exit   electrode  
🗑
Relationship between resistance and current   As the resistance decreases, the current increases  
🗑
3 basic parts of a circuit   power source, wire, load  
🗑
Good conductors have low...   resistance  
🗑
Circuit that provides only one path to the energy source   Series Circuit  
🗑
electric current is made from a ...   changing magnetic field  
🗑
This can demagnetize a magnet.   high temperatures  
🗑
A coil of wires with an electric current   Solenoid  
🗑
Magnets are strongest at the....   poles  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
