| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Reference Point | A place or object used for comparison to determine if something is in motion |
| Distance SI Unit | Meter (measures the length of a path between two points) |
| Speed | The distance an object moves per unit of time. |
| Average Speed: | Calculate the total distance traveled by the total time. |
| Instantaneous Speed | The speed at which an object is moving at a given instant in time. |
| Velocity | Speed in a given direction. If you know the speed and direction of an object, then you know the velocity. |
| Graphing Motion | Plotting time on the x-axis (horizontal axis), and distance on y-axis (vertical axis). |
| Slope | is the steepness of the line, shows how fast one variable changes in relation to the other variable. Slope= Rise/Run |
| Power: | The rate at which energy is transferred, or the amount of energy transferred in a unit of time. Power= Energy Transferred/Time |
| Kinetic Energy | The energy an object has due to its motion. |
| Potential Energy | The energy an object has because of its position, also the internal stored energy of an object, such as energy stored in chemical bonds. |
| Gravitational Potential Energy | Potential energy related to an object’s height |
| Elastic Potential Energy | The energy that can be associated with object’s that can be compressed or stretched. |
| Mechanical Energy | The form of energy associated with the motion, position, and shape of an object |
| Nuclear Energy | The energy stored in the nucleus of an atom. |
| Thermal Energy | The total potential and kinetic energy of the particles in an object. |
| Electrical Energy | The energy of electrical charges. |
| Electromagnetic Energy | The form of energy that travels through space in waves |
| Chemical Energy | The potential energy stored in chemical bonds. |
| Energy Transformations: a change | a change in energy from one to another. |
| Law of the Conversation of Energy | Energy cannot be created or destroyed just changed from one form to another. |
| Passive Transport | When materials go in and out of the cell WITHOUT using energy. |
| 2 types of passive transport: | 1. Diffusion: The movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. 2. Osmosis: The movement of WATER molecules across a selectively permeable membrane. |
| Selectively permeable | means some substances can cross the membrane while others cannot. |
| Active transport | When materials go in and out of the cell using energy. |
| Moving Large Particles: | 1. Endocytosis: The cell changes shape and engulfs the particle. 2. Exocytosis: The reverse process, which allows large particles to exit the cell. |
