Question
Answer
What are the 5 steps of the scientific method?   problem, hypothesis, procedure, analysis, conclusion  
🗑
What does motion mean?   when an object changes position relative to its ref. point  
🗑
what does balanced force mean?   equal in size, opposite in direction  
🗑
whats the net force?   resulting force after all forces have been added  
🗑
Whats the dif. between mass and wieght?   mass is matter in body and weight is the gravitational pull on an object  
🗑
what is newtons 2nd law of motion?   big things need big pushes, little things need little pushes  
🗑
what are the 4 types of friction?   static, sliding and rolling, fluid  
🗑
what does free fall mean?   only force acting on an object is gravity  
🗑
whats a refernece point?   place or obj. used for comparison to determine if somethings in motion  
🗑
whats inertia?   when an object resists to change in its motion  
🗑
whats newtons first law of motion?   matter in motion tends to stay in motion unless acted upon by another force  
🗑
whats newtons 3rd law of motion?   for every action theres an equal or opposite reaction  
🗑
what are the 2 things that determine friction?   pressure and surface  
🗑
whats air resistance?   a form of friction that slows down objects moving in air  
🗑
whats pascals principle?   when a force is applied to a fluid in a closed container the pressure increases everywhere by the same amount  
🗑
whats archimedes' principle?   buoyant force on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced  
🗑
whats the law of conservation of momentum?   the total momentum of objects that collide is the same before and after  
🗑
what are the 6 simple machines?   pulley, wheel&axle, inclined plane, screw, wedge, lever  
🗑
Whats the unit to measure pressure?   pascals  
🗑
what causes objects to sink?   if the wieght of an object is greater than the buoyant force  
🗑
what causes an object to float?   if the buoyant force is equal or greater than objects weight  
🗑
What happens when you increase the area of where a force is applied?   pressure decreases  
🗑
the pressure a fluid exerts is always what to the surface of the object?   perpendicular  
🗑
What happens to the force when you put two feet down instead of one?   nothing  
🗑
If your on both feet and then you stand on one foot, what happens?   pressure increases  
🗑
Whats buoyancy?   upward force thats exerted by a fluid on any object in the fluid  
🗑
whats density?   mass of an object divided by the volume  
🗑
what are the 2 things that determine gravitational attraction?   mass and distance  
🗑
Whats a lodestone?   magnetic rock that points N and S  
🗑
What are ferromagnetic elements?   iron, nickel, cobalt  
🗑
Whats an aurora?   lights caused by solarwinds hitting earths atmosphere  
🗑
what are teslas?   what magnetic fields are measured in  
🗑
What are the Van Allen Belts?   earths magnetic field region that reaches 25,000km  
🗑
What is ferromagnetism?   elements that can be magnets  
🗑
whats a magnetosphere?   region of earths magnetic field thats surrounded by suns solar wind  
🗑
What are domains?   clusters of atoms that determine if objects are magnetic or not  
🗑
What is Magnesia?   the place in GReece where magnetism was first discoverd  
🗑
Whats voltage?   how much electrical potential is available  
🗑
Whats resistance?   measure of how hard it is for electrons to flow through materials  
🗑
What are parallel circuits?   electricity has 2 paths, one light doesnt work the rest still do  
🗑
What happens in an open switch?   electricity doesnt flow  
🗑
Whats a series circuit?   electricity has 1 path  
🗑
Whats electricity?   the flow of moving electrons through material  
🗑
what happens in a closed switch?   electricity flows  
🗑
how are magnetic domains important for something to be magnetic?   they determine if objects are magnetic or not  
🗑
Whats an unbalanced force>?   2 or more forces acting on an oject making it move
