Scientific Laws
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| If a body is at rest or moving at a constant speed in a straight line, it will remain at rest or keep moving in a straight line at constant speed unless it is acted upon by a force. | Newton’s 1st Law of Motion (Law of Inertia) |
| F = ma, or net force is equal to mass times acceleration. | Newton’s 2nd Law of Motion |
| For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. | Newton’s 3rd Law of Motion |
| For a fixed amount of gas at a constant temperature, the pressure and volume are inversely proportional (if pressure increases, volume decreases, and vice versa. ) | Boyle’s Law |
| At constant pressure, the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature. (As temperature increases, so does volume, and vice versa. ) | Charles’ Law |
| Equal volumes of all gases, at the same temperature and pressure, have the same number of molecules. | Avogadro’s Law |
| As the speed of a fluid (like air or water) increases, its pressure decreases, and vice versa (used in designing airplanes and pipes and medical equipment) | Bernoulli's Principle |
| A body at rest in a fluid is acted upon by a force pushing upward called the buoyant force, which is equal to the weight of the fluid that the body displaces. | Archimedes' Principle |
| The force needed to extend or compress a spring by some distance is proportional to that distance. | Hooke’s Law |
| The electric current through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the voltage across the two points. | Ohm’s Law |
| Demonstrates the equivalence of mass and energy, showing that a small amount of mass can be converted into a large amount of energy. | E =mc^2 (Energy equals mass times the speed of light squared) Einstein’s theory of special relativity |
