Scientific method |
Ask a question, Research, Hypothesis,Experiment,Data,Resluts |
|
Dependent variable |
a variable (often denoted by y ) whose value depends on that of another.
|
|
Independent variable |
a variable (often denoted by x ) whose variation does not depend on that of another. |
|
Constant |
occurring continuously over a period of time. |
|
Control |
the power to influence or direct people's behavior or the course of events. |
|
Volume |
The amount of space occupied by a three-dimensional object or region of space. |
|
Mass |
In physics, the property of matter that measures its resistance to acceleration. |
|
Density |
is a measure of mass per volume. |
|
Motion |
the action or process of moving or being moved |
|
Speed |
is a way of measuring how quickly something is moving or being done, or something moving fast. |
|
Displacement |
the state of being displaced or the amount or degree to which something is displaced. |
|
Velocity |
is a physical vector quantity; both magnitude and direction are needed to define it. |
|
Momentum |
the quantity of motion of a moving body, measured as a product of its mass and velocity |
|
Force |
strength or energy as an attribute of physical action or movement
|
|
Friction |
the resistance that one surface or object encounters when moving over another.
|
|
Gravity |
the force that attracts a body toward the center of the earth, or toward any other physical body having mass. For most purposes Newton's laws of gravity apply, with minor modifications to take the general theory of relativity into account.
|
|
Weight |
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.
|
|
Newton's 1st law |
A body at rest will remain at rest, and a body in motion will remain in motion unless it is acted upon by an external force.
|
|
Force |
strength or energy as an attribute of physical action or movement. |
|
Isotope |
each of two or more forms of the same element that contain equal numbers of protons but different numbers of neutrons in their nuclei, and hence differ in relative atomic mass but not in chemical properties; in particular, a radioactive form of an element.
|
|
Kinetic Energy
|
energy that a body possesses by virtue of being in motion.
|
|
Potential Energy
|
the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position relative to others, stresses within itself, electric charge, and other factors.
|
|
Chemical Potential energy
|
a thermodynamic function of a substance in a system that is the partial differential of the Gibbs function of the system with respect to the number of moles of the substance
|
|
GPE
|
is energy an object possesses because of its position in a gravitational field.
|
|
Elastic Potential Energy
|
is the potential mechanical energy stored in the configuration of a material or physical system as work is performed to distort its volume or shape.Elastic energy occurs when objects are compressed and stretched, or generally deformed in any manner.
|
|
Thermodynamics
|
the branch of physical science that deals with the relations between heat and other forms of energy (such as mechanical, electrical, or chemical energy), and, by extension, of the relationships between all forms of energy.
|
|
Earth's Gravitational Force
|
the force of attraction between all masses in the universe; especially the attraction of the earth's mass for bodies near its surface.
|
|
Sea Level
|
the level of the sea's surface, used in reckoning the height of geographical features such as hills and as a barometric standard. 101KPA
|
|
Pressure
|
The force per unit area that one region of a gas, liquid, or solid exerts on another
|
|
volume
|
is the quantity of three-dimensional space occupied by a liquid, solid, or gas. Common units used to express volume include liters, cubic meters, gallons, milliliters, teaspoons and ounces
|
|
Allotrope
|
each of two or more different physical forms in which an element can exist. Graphite, charcoal, and diamond are all allotropes of carbon.
