Question
Answer
Pendulum   a mass hung from a fixed point that swings back and forth  
🗑
Cycle   any motion or activity that repeats itself  
🗑
Variable   anything in an experiment that might affect or change the outcome  
🗑
Standard   basic procedure used in a controlled experiment before you change any variables  
🗑
Controlled-Experiment   an experiment in which one variable is changed and compared to standard  
🗑
Two-Coordinate Graph   shows the outcome of a series of experiments when a variable is changed by steps  
🗑
Galileo   Italian scientist who used a pendulum to measure time  
🗑
Capacity   greatest amount in a fluid container  
🗑
Density   amount of matter that will fit in given space  
🗑
Archimedes   mathematician and scientist who used displaced water to tell about an object  
🗑
Identify the variables that can affect or don't affect the number of swings in a pendulum can complete in a given time period   affect: length of string do not affect: mass of bob, height of drop  
🗑
Describe the relationship between the length of a pendulum and the number of cycles it makes   the length of a pendulum will affect the number of cycles. longer=less  
🗑
Identify variables that will affect the number of passengers lifeboats can hold   the capacity, the water calmness, penny drop  
🗑
Describe the relationship between the capacity of a boat and the number of passengers it can hold   the more capacity the lifeboat has, the more passengers it can hold  
🗑
Explain why a substance will float or sink   if the substance has less density than the water (1) it will float, if it has more, it will sink  
🗑
How dense is water   1.0 g  
🗑
How dense is salt water   1.2 g  
🗑
