Question
Answer
What is the definition of energy?   to move an object  
🗑
what is potential energy?   when something has the potental to move when energy is there but no being used  
🗑
what is kinetic energy?   when something is in movement and using energy  
🗑
Give an example of kinetic and potential energy   kinetic: when a ball is thrown Potential: when a ball is held in your hand  
🗑
what are 5 types of energy?   gravitational thermal electromagnetic mechanical chemical  
🗑
energy can change forms but not me lost give an example.   automobile fuel = chemical -> mechanical done through heat oil = chemical -> thermal, nuclear  
🗑
what is a conductor?   something that allows electricity to flow through it  
🗑
what is the opposite of a conductor or something that does not let electricity flow though it?   insulator  
🗑
who was Alessandro Volta?   he came up with the first battery using zinc and silver.  
🗑
what is the flow of electricity called   and electric current  
🗑
What is AC?   AC stands for alternating current. when electrons move back and fourth at a fast pace.  
🗑
what is DC?   stands for direct current. when electrons only travel in one direction.  
🗑
What is a series circuit?   when only one path is available for the electricity to travel  
🗑
what is a parallel circuit?   when more than one path is available for the electricity to travel.  
🗑
why do you get shocked if you stick your finger in an electric socket?   because there is an electric current and you are a conductor.  
🗑
what is a complex circuit?   something made up of series and parallel circuits.  
🗑
what is a switch?   a device to break a circuit  
🗑
what is a volt?   a unit for measuring the rate of electron flow in a circuit  
🗑
electric charge   having too many or too few electrons  
🗑
battery   a temporary source of electricity  
🗑
power   the rate at which a device converts electrical energy to another form of energy  
🗑
circut   the path of electric conductors  
🗑
static electricity   electric charge built up in one place  
🗑
electroscope   device that detects electric charges  
🗑
resistance   opposition to the flow of electricity  
🗑
ampere   unit to measure electric potential  
🗑
what are the three main parts of an atom?   protons neutrons electrons  
🗑
what is electricity?   the flow of electrons from one atom to another  
🗑
what is a circuit?   the path of electricity in a circle opened by a switch  
🗑
what happens to molecules as heat is added and taken away?   when they are heated up the move faster and when they are cooled down they slow down.  
🗑
what are the two main properties of magnets?   what its attracting has to contain iron always point north and south  
🗑
paramagnetic   things we don't think about being attracted by magnets  
🗑
ferromagnetic   things that we know are attracted by magnets  
🗑
diamagnetic   repelled by magnets  
🗑
what is a switch?   can stop the flow of energy from a source to a load/resistance  
🗑
what type of current does a battery represent   DC->current that only flows in one direction  
🗑
can you demagnetize a magnet?   yes if you throw in on the ground hard enough heat it up  
🗑
what is the name of the area around a magnet?   magnetic field  
🗑
how did the magnet get its named   a Greek city named magnesia named magnetite after city  
🗑
what are the degrees of magnetism   diamagnetc paramagnetic ferromagnetic  
🗑
what happens when you break a magnet?   you get two smaller magnets?  
🗑
what is the measure of heat?   temperature  
🗑
what are the three temperature scales   Kelvin Fahrenheit Celsius  
🗑
what is electricity   the flow and movement of electrons  
🗑
absolute zero   as nothing colder on kelvin scale  
🗑
absolute zero -> in Celsius and Fahrenheit   -273 C -513 F  
🗑
what two parts of an atom are in the nucleus?   protons and neutrons electrons on outside  
🗑
what is the charge of each of the parts of an atom   protons - + positive neutrons - +- neutral electrons - -negative  
🗑
Opposites attract in magnets   poles attract N-S  
🗑
opposites in electricity   electrons and protons stick together to cancel each other out  
🗑
study pictures of iron shavings on magnet patterns   SS--> there is a circle of no iorn shavings where the S and S side are together ONE--> There is lines in a circle around the center showing the magnetic force field NS--> there is a big cluster of iorn shavings where the N and S side are facing eachothe  
🗑
three methods of heat transfers   conduction radiation convection  
🗑
conduction   movement of heat through a solid  
🗑
convection   movement of heat through a liquid and a gas  
🗑
radiation   heat waves from the sun or solar energy  
🗑
Freezing point   When something turns into a solid  
🗑
boiling point   when something turns into a gas  
🗑
condensing point   opposite of a boiling point  
🗑
melting point   opposite of a freezing point  
🗑
magnetic force   a push or pull exerted by a magnet  
🗑
how are atoms of ferromagnetic substances different from the atoms of other substances?   their atoms choose domains (North + South) and organize in alternating groups  
🗑
what is heat?   energy created by movement of molecules  
🗑

🗑


   

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.
