Question
Answer
show The search for order in our observations of the world/  
🗑
show Important first step toward scientific theory; requires imagination to tell what is important; includes the design and carrying out of experiments.  
🗑
show Created to explain and order observations; will make predictions.  
🗑
show Will tell if the prediction is accurate, then repeat.  
🗑
show Study of physical world. Includes physical universe, structure of atom, and how objects move. Ex. throwing a ball, electricity, a moving car.  
🗑
What is the Scientific Method?   show
🗑
show Create mental pictures to provide an analogy; limits in model and do not take too seriously. Ex. Bohr Model of an atom.  
🗑
show Detailed and can give testable predictions. Ex. The Cell Theory.  
🗑
What are laws?   show
🗑
What are principles?   show
🗑
show 1.) 0's between other non-zeros: sig fig. 2.) 0's infront of non-zero digits: not sig fig. 3.)0's that are at the end of a number & right of the decimal: sig fig. 4.) 0's at the end of the decimal but left of decimal: significant if measured.  
🗑
show 4.  
🗑
show 2.  
🗑
show 2 if measured, 1 if estimated.  
🗑
How many sig figs in 0.3?   show
🗑
show 2, the '5' and second 0 (the one after the five) are significant.  
🗑
Rule for sig figs when multiplying/dividing?   show
🗑
show No more accurate than the least accurate used (use the decimal places).  
🗑
show True, because measurements are limited to the instrument's accuracy.  
🗑
show Describes how close a measured value is to the true value.  
🗑
show Refers to degree of exactness with which a measurement is made and stated.  
🗑
Give the subject and examples of mechanics.   show
🗑
Give the subject and examples of thermodynamics.   show
🗑
show Subject- Repetitive motion. Examples- Springs, pendulum.  
🗑
show Subject- Light. Examples- Mirrors.  
🗑
show Subject- Electricity and magnetism. Examples- Electrical charge, circuits.  
🗑
Give the subject and examples of relativity.   show
🗑
show Subject- Behavior of submicroscopic particles. Examples- Parts of an atom.  
🗑
Since 1983, the standard meter has been defined in terms of what?   show
🗑
show Time for 9,192,631,770 periods to occur of radiation given off by caesium radition of a 133 atom.  
🗑
show Seconds (s).  
🗑
What is the SI unit of mass?   show
🗑
show Meter.  
🗑
show Mole.  
🗑
show Kelvin (K).  
🗑
