|---|---|
| bar of lever | used to move objects by wedging |
| load of lever | counter weight used to move objects |
| fulcrum of lever | balancing point of lever to gain leverage |
| input arm of lever | part of lever wedged under what is to be moved |
| output arm of lever | part of lever weight is applied to move objects |
| inclined plane | ramp used to make work easier |
| wheel and axle | simple machine using motion of one wheel and lift |
| pulley | simple machine that uses two wheels pulling in opposite directions |
| examples of forces/properties | contact, balanced, magnetic, drag |
| examples of energy/properties | kinetic, mechanical, potential |
| buoyancy | upward force by liquid |
| solid | state of matter with size and shape |
| liquid | state of matter that flows and pools |
| gas | state of matter with no size or shape that difuses |
| thrust | reaction force |
| semimetals | one of two main groups of periodic table |
| chemical reaction | new substance formed by rearranging of atoms |
| negative acceleration | motion changes at slower rate |
| neutral substances | neither acid or base |
| weight | pull of gravity on an object by another |
| convection | heat transfer caused by moving liquid or gas |
| friction | force that resists motion |
| generator | converts mechanical energy to electrical |
| tension force | pulling between rope/cable and object |
| vacuum | empty space void of matter |
| unbalanced forces | forces that cause work to be done |
| atomic theory of matter | all mater is made of tiny unseen particles |
| first law of motion | an object stays in motion unless an outside force acts upon it |
| second law of motion | acceleration is determined by forces and mass |
| third law of motion | every action has an opposite and equal reaction |
