Question | Answer |
Parts of Scientific Method | 1.Identify the problem 2.Gather info. 3.Make a hypothesis 4.Test hypothesis 5.Analyze and conclude |
4 point conclusion | 1.Restate hypothesis 2.use data to support the results 3.comment on the design of the experiment 4.the larger picture |
independent variable | thing you are testing for |
dependent variable | the results |
how to find speed | speed=distance divided by time |
velocity | speed with direction |
how to find velocity | velocity= distance divided by time |
acceleration | the speed between two points |
meters | distance |
seconds | time |
meters/second | speed |
meters/second north | velocity |
meters/seconds squared(2) | acceleration |
how to find acceleration | final velocity-initial velocity/time |
scientific theory | the best explanation based on a tremendous amount of evidence shown many times |
what makes things move | forces |
forces | a push or pull one body exerts on another |
unbalanced forces | DO cause things to move |
net force | an unbalanced force |
balanced forces | do not cause things to move |
Newtons 1st law | A. an object at rest will stay at rest unless acted upon by a net force B. An object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by a net force |
2 net forces | friction and gravity |
inertia | a natural resistance to an unbalanced force |
mass | the amount of matter/space an object takes up |
Newtons 2nd law | F= M.a an object will accelerate in the direction of the force applied and will depend on the mass and amount of force |
Kg | mass |
N | force |
m/s2 | acceleration |
gravity | the farther apart things are, the less the gravitational pull weight/mass |
force of gravity | 9.8 m/s2 |
weight | a force |
Newton | 1. father of physics 2.wrote Principia Mathmatecia |
Principia Mathmatecia | has all the laws of motion |
Newtonian telescope | -uses 2 sets of mirrors -smaller- can see farther -didn't distort color or light |
terminal velocity | the point when an object reaches its maximum velocity |
projectile motion | the path that projectile motion |
centripetal force | the tendency of a body to lean inwards toward the center |
weightlessness | no such thing: free falling objects |
Newtons 3rd law | for every action there is a reaction |
centrifical force | leans outwards |
