Question
Answer
Chapter 1   show
🗑
When is an object in motion?   show
🗑
What is a reference point?   show
🗑
What is the International System of Units?   show
🗑
show The main unit of length in SI is the meter, which is a bit longer than a yard.  
🗑
show Speed's the distance an object travels in a certain amount of time.  
🗑
How do you calculate speed?   show
🗑
When is an object at a constant speed?   show
🗑
How do you find an objects average speed?   show
🗑
When do you know the velocity of an object?   show
🗑
What a slope of a graph?   show
🗑
How do you calculate slope?   show
🗑
show Acceleration is the rate at which velocity changes. Because velocity = speed in certain direction, acceleration refers to 1) increasing speed, 2) decreasing speed, or 3) changing direction  
🗑
show Acceleration = Final Velocity - Initial Velocity, divided by Time  
🗑
What is a linear relationship?   show
🗑
show If a line on a graph doesn't rise the same amount each time, then it has a nonlinear relationship.  
🗑
show Forces  
🗑
show A force is a push or pull.  
🗑
What is a net force?   show
🗑
show An unbalanced force is a force that will change an objects motion (cause it to start moving, stop moving, or change the objects motion)  
🗑
show Ballanced forces are equal forces acting on one object in opposite directions. Balanced forces will not change an objects motion.  
🗑
What is inertia?   show
🗑
What is Newton's first law of motion?   show
🗑
What is mass?   show
🗑
show Newton's second law of motion says that the net force on an object is equal to the product of its accelration and its mass. (Force = Mass x Acceleration)  
🗑
What is friction?   show
🗑
show The three types of friction are: 1) sliding friction, surfaces sliding on each other 2) rolling friction, objects that roll on each other and 3) fluid friction, objects that moves through a liquid or gas..  
🗑
show Gravity is the force that pulls objects together.  
🗑
When is an object in its freefall?   show
🗑
show A projectile is an object that is thrown.  
🗑
What is air resistance?   show
🗑
When does an object reach its terminal velocity?   show
🗑
show The force of gravity on a person or object at the surface of a planet.  
🗑
show Weight = Mass x Acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s squared)  
🗑
show Newton's third law of motion says if one object exerrts a force on an object, the second object exerts a force of equal magnitude in the opposite direction of the first object.  
🗑
show Momentum is the quantity of motion. Momentum is the product of an objects mass and its velocity. Momentum = Mass x Velocity. The unit of measurement for momentum is kilogram-meters per second (kg x m/s)  
🗑
What does the law of conservation of momentum say?   show
🗑
That is the end of Chapter 2 Take a break....there is more to come!!!   show
🗑
Chapter 3   show
🗑
What is pressure?   show
🗑
What is the unit of measurement for pressure?   show
🗑
What is a fluid?   show
🗑
show Pascals principle says that when a force is applied to a convined fluid, the pressure is applied equally to all parts of the fluid.  
🗑
What do hydraulic systems do?   show
🗑
What is a buoyant force?   show
🗑
show Archimedes' principle says that the buoyant force on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object.  
🗑
What is density?   show
🗑
show Sink  
🗑
show Float  
🗑
show Suspend in the water  
🗑
show Bernoulli's principle says that pressure exerted by a moving stream of fluid is less than the pressuer of the surrounding fluid.  
🗑
Chapter 4   show
🗑
What is work?   show
🗑
show 1) make the object move some distance, 2) have the force you exert be in the same direction of the objects motion.  
🗑
show Work = Force x Distance. The unit of measurement for work is a joule, or J, which is a Newton meter, Nm  
🗑
How does a machine make work easier?   show
🗑
What is an input force?   show
🗑
show An output force is the force exerted by the machine.  
🗑
What is a machines mechanical advantage?   show
🗑
show Mechanical advantage = Output force/Input force.  
🗑
show The efficiency of a machine compares the output work to the input work. It is expressed as a percent.  
🗑
show Efficiency = Output force/Input force x 100%  
🗑
What is an actual mechanical advantage?   show
🗑
show The ideal mechanical advantage of a machine is the mechanical advantage without friction. The more efficient a machine is, the closer the actual mechanical advantage is to the ideal mechanical advantage.  
🗑
show The six types of simple machines are: 1) the inclined plane, 2) the wedge, 3) the screw, 4) the lever, 5) the wheel and axle, 6) the pulley.  
🗑
show An inclined plane is a flat slanted surface. (ex. ramp.)  
🗑
How do you find the ideal mechanical advantage of an inclined plane?   show
🗑
What is a wedge?   show
🗑
show A screw can be thought of as an inclined plane wrapped around a cylinder. (ex. twisty slide)  
🗑
What is a lever?   show
🗑
show A fulcrum is the fixed point that a lever pivots around.  
🗑
show To find the ideal mechanical advantage of a lever, you divde the distance from the fulcrum to input force, by the distance from the fulcrum to the output force.  
🗑
What is a wheel and axle?   show
🗑
How do you find the ideal mechanical advantage of a wheel and axle?   show
🗑
What is a pulley?   show
🗑
show The ideal mechanical advantage of a pulley system is equal to the number of sections of the rope that support the object. (ex. flagpole).  
🗑
What is a compound machine?   show
🗑
What are gears?   show
🗑
show Tendons are the tissue which attach your muscles to your bones.  
🗑
Chapter 5   show
🗑
What is energy?   show
🗑
show The two types of energy are: 1) kinetic energy, and 2) potential energy.  
🗑
show Kinetic energy is the energy of motion.  
🗑
How do you calculate kinetic energy?   show
🗑
What is potential energy?   show
🗑
show 1) Elastic potential energy, potential energy associated with objects that can be stretched or compressed., and 2) gravitational potential energy, energy that depends on height.  
🗑
How do you calculate gravitational potential enrgy   show
🗑
show The unit of measurement for energy is a joule, J  
🗑
show Gravitational potential energy = Mass x Gravitational acceleration (9.8 m/s) x Height.  
🗑
show 1) Mechanical Energy, 2) Thermal Energy, 3) Chemical Energy, 4) Electrical Energy, 5) Electromagnetic Energy, 6) Nuclear Energy.  
🗑
show The law of conservation of energy says that when one form of energy is converted to another, no energy is destroyed in the process.  
🗑
What is power?   show
🗑
show Power = Force x Distance divided by Time. The unit of measurement for power is 1 watt, which is equal to 1 Joule per second.  
🗑
