Question | Answer |
---|---|
Mass is a measurement of what? | The amount of space an object occupies. |
Volume is the measurement of what? | The amount of matter in an object. |
What must a measurement include? | A number and an unit. |
What does mass equal? | Matter. |
What do you do before you write your hypothesis? | Research the topic. |
What is the best graph to show comparison? | Bar graph. |
How is a hypothesis formatted? | If, then, because. |
What is a independent variable? | What is being changed on purpose. |
What is a dependent variable? | What is being measured. |
What is a controlled variable? | What is kept the same. |
What is a qualitative observation? | Observation using your senses. |
What is a quantitative observation? | Observation that is measurable. |
What is position? | A place or an object is that place or object. |
What is a reference point? | A location to wgere you compare other locations. |
What is motion? | The change of positions over time. |
What is velocity? | The measurement of both speeds and directions. |
What is a vector? | The measurement that includes size and direction. |
What is acceleration? | The measure of the change in velocity of a moving object. |
What is gravity? | The force that objects exert on each other because of their masses. |
What is weight? | The force of gravity on an object. |
What is potential energy? | The amount of stored energy. |
What is kinetic energy? | The energy of motion. |
What is Newton's first law? | An object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by another force. A force is not always needed to keep something moving. |
What is friction? | A force that exists at the boundry between any two pieces of matter that are in contactwith each other. |
What is Newton's second law? | The change in motion that results from unbalanced forces. F=ma |
What is inertia? | The tendency of an object to resist change in its motion. |
What is Newton's third law? | Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. |
