Scientific Method
A testable prediction of the outcome of the experiment is called.
A Hypothesis
When one object pushes or pulls another object by touching it.
How many Laws of Motion did Newton develop in the 1600s?
Energy in Motion.
Kinetic Energy
This type of Potential Energy is stored in chemical substances.
Chemical Energy
Variables that are kept the same throughout the experiment to keep the testing "fair" are called:
Constants
Force of attraction between two masses.
Gravity
The acceleration of an object depends on the mass of the object and the size of the force applied to it.
Newton's 2nd Law of Motion
Stored Energy.
Potential Energy.
This type of Potential Energy is stored in the nucleus of an atom.
Nuclear Energy
"Cause" in a "cause and effect" relationship.
Independent Variable
A force that resists motion between two surfaces that are pushed together.
Friction
Every time one object exerts a force on another object, the second object exerts force that is equal in size and opposite in direction.
Newton's 3rd Law of Motion
Potential Energy is affect by this two things.
Mass and Height
This type of Kinetic Energy is created from the movement of molecules.
Thermal Energy
The "effect" in a "cause and effect" relationship.
Dependent Variable
The sum of all forces acting on an object.
Net Force
Objects in motion will stay in motion. Objects at rest will stay at rest unless acted upon by an outside force.
Newton's 1st Law of Motion
Kinetic Energy is affected by these two things.
Mass and Speed
This type of Kinetic Energy is created from the movement of electrons in a circuit.
Electrical Energy
The test group that is kept "normal."
Control Group
The resistance of an object to change speed or direction of motion.
Inertia
Newton's Laws can be used to predict and explain this.
Motion of any object
Thermal Energy, Light Energy, Mechanical Energy, Electrical Energy.
Types of Kinetic Energy
Electromagnetic energy where each state of light carries a different amount of energy.
Light Energy
