Define
What is the study of the matter and movement of God's physical creation
Science
The SI unit of pressure
Pascal
Contrast Mass and Weight
Mass is the amount of matter in an object, while Weight is the amount of gravitation force exerted on an object by the earth or another celestial object
Which has more inertia: a Boulder or a Pebble?
A boulder has more inertia than a pebble. This is because inertia is directly related to an objects mass and a boulder has a much larger mass than a pebble.
How many significant digits is in 76.00?
4 significant digits
What are any of the digits in a measured value that represent the uncertainty of the measurement?
Significant Digit
The author of Principia
Isaac Newton
Explain the difference between Accuracy and Precision
Accuracy is the closeness of a measurement to the quantity's value, while Precision is how closely a series of measurements match each other
Can scientists measure the volume of bamboo wood using fluid displacement with corn syrup? Why or why not?
No. Thick liquids like corn syrup dont work well for measuring the volume of things usinng this method because they're too slow, can get absorbed, and might not let the object sink properly.
How many significant digits is in 0.0205?
3 significant digits
What is an object that hangs from a fixed point and swings back and forth because of gravity?
Pendulum
The "language of science"
Mathematics
Explain why Surface Tension occurs
The molecules at the suface of a liquid experience a net inward force fur to the stronger attractions from the liquid molecules below them compared to the weaker attrations from the gas above.
Why can a second-class lever multiply force but not speed?
A second-class lever boosts force because your effort acts over a longer distance than the load. Since the work you do must equal the work on the load, the load moves a shorter distance. Shorter distance in the same time means slower speed.
Convert 0.00054 to scientific notation.
5.4 X 10-4
What is the science of shaping objects to allow the smooth flow of fluids around them and reduce drag?
Streamlining
Type of model consisting of a description of an object or phenomenon in words
Verbal Model
Explain the difference between Classical Physics and Modern Physics
Classical Physics is the collective term for the branches of Physics developed before 1900, while Modern Physics is the collective term for the branches of physics developed since 1900.
Consider the following statement: "The weather is hot because the temperature is 90 degrees Fahrenheit." What fallacy does this statement commit?
Circular Reasoning
What is the formula for work?
W=Fd or work = force x distance
What is the device that is used to measure altitude?
Altimeter
The giving up of a characteristic that is less important for a characteristic that is more important
Tradeoff
Compare and contrast the Mercury Barometer with the Aneroid Barometer
An Aneroid Barometer is a barometer that uses an airtight metal box with thin, flexible walls to measure pressure
What fallacy occurs when a conclusion is drawn based on the fact that the consequent of a hypothetical proposition is true?
Affirming the Consequent
What is the formula for power?
p=W/t or power = work/time
