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.
