Question
Answer
pH   measure of hydrogen ions (H+) in a solution on a scale from 0-14 acid (H+)<7 neutral(7) Base (OH-)>7  
🗑
electrolyte   a substance dissolves into ions and produces an electric current  
🗑
reactivity   tendency to gain or lose electrons  
🗑
solar cells   device that absorbs radiant energy from the sun. aka: photovoltaic cell  
🗑
Newton's laws   explain inertia, constant acceleration and momentum  
🗑
mechanical advantage   number of times a machine multiplies the effort force applied to it  
🗑
oxidation   reaction in which atoms in an element lose electrons  
🗑
momentum   property of a moving object based on its mass and velocity  
🗑
wave properties   rhythmic property that transfers energy ; transverse or compressional  
🗑
heat transfer   movement of thermal energy; conduction, convection, & radiation  
🗑
buoyancy   ability of a fluid to exert an upward force  
🗑
solubility   maximum amount of solute dissolved in a solvent at a given temperature  
🗑
solute   substance being dissolved ex: kool-aid, sugar  
🗑
solvent   substance doing the dissolving ex: water  
🗑
viscosity   a fluids resistance to flow ex: syrup or oil had greater viscosity than water  
🗑
acceleration   rate of change in velocity; speed up, slow down, or change direction  
🗑
density   mass per unit of volume; measurment can be g/mL or g/cm^3  
🗑
efficiency   measure of work put in a machine compared to work done by a machine  
🗑
nuclear reactions   splitting apart of an atom (fission) or joining of two atomic nuclei (fusion)  
🗑
endergonic   chemical reactions that require energy  
🗑
exergonic   chemical reaction that release energy; usually light or heat  
🗑

🗑
law of conservation of energy   energy is not created or destroyed; it changes forms; ex: electrical energy to heat energy (toaster)  
🗑
law of conservation of mass   mass is not gained or lost; it changes forms; ex: liquid to gas  
🗑
force   push or pull; measured in Newton's * formula f=ma  
🗑
physical properties   transfer of energy when force is applied to an object; measured in joules *formula w=fdcharacteristics you can observe without changing the materials; ex: size, shape  
🗑
chemical properties   any characteristics, such as flammability, that indicates it can undergo a chemical change  
🗑
power   amount of work done in a certain amount of time; measure in watts *formula P=w/t  
🗑
work   transfer of energy when force is applied to an object; measure in joules. *formula w=fd  
🗑
circuit   pathway for electricity: series circuit- one pathway for electricityparallel circuit- two or more pathways for electricity  
🗑
