Cards

Term
Motion
Definition
The action or progress of moving or being moved
Term
Evidence
Definition
the available body of facts or information indicating whether a brief or proposition is true or valid
Term
Distance
Definition

an amount of space between two things or people. 

d=_/(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2

Term
Controlled Variable
Definition
The constant and unchanged variable in an experiment
Term
Tested Variable
Definition
Independent variable
Term
Time Interval
Definition
a definite length of time marked off by two instants.
Term
Speed
Definition

the rate at which an object covers distance.

 

average speed=distance traveled

                   time of travel

Term
Velocity
Definition

Speed in some direction

 

Average velocity= Change position

             time

=

displacement

time

Term
Newton's Third Law
Definition

"For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction."


The statement means that in every interaction, there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects. The size of the forces on the first object equals the size of the force on the second object.

Term
Acceleration
Definition

Rate of change of velocity per unit of time.

 

A vehicle's capacity to gain speed within a short time.

Term
Deacceleration
Definition
To decrease the velocity of a moving object
Term
Slope
Definition
Rate of change
Term
Force
Definition

F=ma

 

Strength or energy as an attribute of physical action or movement.  

Term
Mass
Definition
The quantity of matter in a body regardless of its volume or any forces acting on it.
Term
Newton's Second Law
Definition
F=ma
Term
Weight
Definition
1
a body's relative mass or the quantity of matter contained by it, giving rise to a downward force; the heaviness of a person or thing.
 
Term
M/s2
Definition

Meters per second squared- 

acceleration 

Term
Newton (N)
Definition
Unit of force
Term
Newton's First Law
Definition
inertia- an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by an outside force.
Term
Balanced Forces
Definition
When all the forces acting upon an object balance each other, the object will be at equilibrium; it will not accelerate. 
Term
Unbalanced Forces
Definition
  forces that cause acceleration. 
Term
Friction
Definition
the force exerted by a surface as an object moves across it or makes an effort to move across it.
Term
Center of mass
Definition
the center of mass of a distribution of mass in space is the unique point where the weighted relative position of the distributed mass sums to zero.
Term
Raw Materials
Definition
Materials harvested from the earth that have not been manufactured.
Term
Chemical Properties
Definition
Traits of a substance that are found by seeing how it reacts with other chemicals.
Term
Physical Properties
Definition
Characteristics that can be observed or measured.
Term
Polymer
Definition
Made of monomers.
A line/string of molecules
Compounds made of thousands of repeating smaller molecules
Term
Dmitri Mendeleev
Definition
The Russian scientist who in 1869 developed ideas that lead to the modern periodic table.
Term
Atomic number
Definition
Amount of protons
Term
Atomic mass
Definition
Protons + neutrons in an element
Term
Molecule
Definition
Two or more types of atoms held together by chemical bonds.
Term
Reactivity
Definition
How likely an element is to react.
Term
Qualities
Definition
Light transmission
Luster
Texture
Flexibility
Strength
Electrical Conductivity
Density
Term
Element
Definition
A substance that cannot be broken down into simpler substances.
A material with one type of atom.
