Science exam part 2
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What happens to the momentum of 2 billiard balls that collide? | the momentum will be conserved. Momentum will be the same before and free the collision. |
| why do planets orbit the sun instead of traveling into space? | force of gravity between the sun and planets provides the centripetal force that keeps the planets in orbit. |
| What Is weight? | Force of gravity exerted on an object |
| how do you calculate weight if you are given a mass? | w=mg |
| acceleration due to gravity on earth is_____ | 9.8m/s2 |
| as_____ increases the grav. Force increases | mass |
| As_____ between 2 objects increases grav. Force increases | distance |
| newton’s 1st law | an object in motion or at rest stays that way, unless acted on by an outside force |
| newton’s 2nd law | net force acting on an object os equal to the object’s mass times acceleration |
| newton’s 3rd law | every action has an equal and opposite reaction |
| newton’s 1st law is often called the law of___ | inertia |
| Formula describing relationship between force ,mass, and acceleration | Fnet=MA |
| What happens when you kick a soccer ball? | an outside force is applied by the foot to the ball causing it to accelerate |
| why does a person to wearing a seatbelt will likely hit the windshield in a collision? | without a seatbelt to apply a force to a person, he will continue moving t that same speed until an outside force acts on it. |
| must an object with balanced forces be at rest? | no, an object could be moving at a constant speed and the forces would be balanced. |
| What cause a feather to fall more slowly than a brick? | air resistance |
| what would happen without the presence of air? | feather and brick will fall at same rate |
| what can affect air resistance? | surface area |
| explain purpose of a parachute | to increase air resistance by increasing surface area |
| an apple hanging on a tree has___ | gravitational chemical potential energy |
| _____and_____ must happen for work t be done | force applied and distance moved |
| ______ make work easier | machines |
| List types of simple machines: | wheel and axle, inclined plane, lever, pulley, wedge, screw |
| combination of 2 or more simp. Machines | compound machine |
| rate at which energy is transformed | power |
| according to the____ the universes total energy does not change | law o conservation of energy |
| a stretched rubber band has | elastic potential energy |
| energy in motion and stored energy due to position | mechanical energy |
| As you ride on a swing, your energy is converted from ____to____ and back again | gpe, ke |
| on a swing, where is gpe the highest? | at highest point |
| where is KE the highest? | longest point |
| unit used to measure how much energy you get from food | calorie |
| kinetic energy is measured in____ | joules |
| gpe is measured in _____ | joules |
| how does friction affect the mechanical energy of a system? | Friction converts me into te |
| What is the formula for work? | w=fd (J) (N) (M) |
| formula for mechanical advantage | ma=Fout/Fin (N/N) |
| formula for efficiency | eff=Wout/Win x 100 % (J/J) |
| formula for kinetic energy | ke=1/2mv2 (J) (Kg) (M/s) |
| formula for gravitational potential energy | GPE=mgh (J) (Kg) (M/s2) (M) |
| formula for power | p=w/t or e/t (W) (J/S) |
| How much work is done by the boy carrying a 20 kg box across the room and horizontal distance of 10 m? | no work is done since the force applied and distance moved are perpendicular |
| a book is sliding across a horizontal table slows down and comes to a stop. The books kinetic energy was converted into what form of energy? | thermal energy |
| transfer of TE through direct contact ( stove to pot) | conduction |
| transfer of TE through the movement of warmer and cooler fluids or gases (boiling water) | convection |
| A ____ is a device that converts TE into ME | heat engine |
| TE is transferred slowly through an____ | insulator |
| Metals are good____of TE | conductors |
| as speed of particles increases , the temp ____as speed particles increases a substance decreases the temp____ | increases , decreases |
| TE is measure in____ | joules |
| In order for heat to flow from a cooler area to a warmer area _____ must be done. Give an example of A device thats does this | work, fridge |
| a coolant is a substance that_____ | has a high specific heat.it can absorb a lot of TE without much change in temp. |
| temp is measured in____in metric system. The base SI unit for temperature is _____ | celcius, kelvin |
| heat naturally moves from an area of ____ temp to an area of___temp | higher, lower |
| What is water used as a coolant? | It has a high specific heat, so it can absorb a lot of TE without much change in temp. |
| how does a thermos work? | to minimize TE transfer by conduction + convection a thermos has a vacuum between 2 walls. Conduction + convection both require matter to transfer TE, and there is no matter in a vacuum. It is made of reflective materials and it reflects radiation. |
| does insulation in the attic keep cold out in the winter? | it slows down the heat transfer through roof to outside cooler air. |
| which has the greater amount of TE, one liter of water at 50 degree celcius or 2 liters of water at 50 degree celcius? | 2 liters |
