|
Motion |
When the distance between to objects changes you have a refrence point that is usually stationary |
|
Newton's first law |
An object at rest will remain at rest and an object in motion Will remain in motion unless acted apone by an unbalanced force |
|
Newton's second law |
The larger an objects mass the larger the force required to change the motion of that object |
|
Newton's third law |
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction |
|
Provid 2 examples of when your body experience inertia |
When you turn a corner in the car and your body leans to the side because you want to keep going in the same direction and when you are in a roller coaster and it stops so you lean forward because you want to keep moving |
|
Energy |
Ability to do work or cause change in matter |
|
What are the two main types of energy |
Potential and kinetic |
|
Witch of energy dose a rock sitting on top of the hill have explain why |
Gravitational potential energy because it has the potential to fall |
|
What is elastic potential energy |
The enargey that you get when an object is stretched or compressed |
|
What is kinetic energy |
Energy of moving matter |
|
What dose the law of conservation of energy say |
Energy can not be created of destroyed it can only change forms |
|
List seven forms of energy |

|
What two factors affect the amount of gravitational potential energy an object has |
The hight and the position of that object |
|
What is a machine |
Device that makes work easier or more efficient |
|
List the three ways a machine makes work easier |
Changing the amount of force exerted, changing the distance the force is exerted, and changing the distance the force is exerted |
|
List the six simple machines |

|
Describe an inclined plane |
It is a slanted surface that increases the distance that you move the object but it uses less force |
|
Explain how an inclined plane makes work easier |
More distance less force |
|
Describe a screw |

|
Explain how the number of threads on a screw or bolt relates to the length of the inclined plane |
If the threads are closer together than the inclined plane is longer and if they are farther apart the inclined plane is shorter |
|
How dose the number of threads on a screw or bolt affect the amount of force required to turn the screw or bolt why |
If the threads on a screw are closer together it is easier to screw in but it takes more time and if the threads are farther apart it is harder to screw in but it takes less time |

|
What are we seeing when we see the color white |
All of the colors being reflected of of the object |
|
Explain what we are seeing when we see black objects |
None of the colors are being reflected back at us so we are seeing a blank hole in space |
|
Why do dark colored objects get hotter than light colored objects |
Because they absorbe more radiation a white colored objects do not absorbed any radiation |

|
When visible light hits an object what are the two possible actions the object can do to the light |
Absorb it or reflect it |
|
Explain how we see objects of different colors |
Because of the different wavelengths that are being reflected off of that object and the other colors get absorbed |
