Simple Machines
What is a simple machine?
Uses a force to move something
What is potential energy?
When energy builds up when an object is high
What does C stand for?
Carbon
What are igneous rocks?
Igneous rocks are rocks that form from magma
What is an air mass?
A usually big mass of air with uniform tempature.
What is a wedge?
A simple machine that is used to cut something in half, an example of this is a knife
What is Kinetic Energy?
Kinetic Energy is how fast your going, so if you have less Kinetic Energy you go slower, and if you have more kinetic energy, you go faster
What does FE stand for?
What are metamorphic rocks?
What is a cold front?
A cold air mass
What is an inclined plane?
A simple machine that makes moving an object up and down easier, an example of this is a ramp
What is Thermal Energy
Thermal energy is energy that comes from movement of atoms and molecules in a substance
What is the atomic number?
The number of protons inside a nucleus of an atom
What are sedimentary rocks?
Rocks that form from sediments cementing together
What is a warm front
A warm air mass
What is a wheel and axle?
A simple machine that rotates by using force to rotate it, an example of this simple machine is a doorknob
What is chemical energy?
Energy that is stored in the bonds of chemical compounds
What is the atomic symbol?
An abberviation for an element, for example FE is Iron
What is the difference between intrusive and extrusive igneous rocks?
Intrusive forms below the earth surface, and Extrusive forms above
What is a stationary front?
How are simple machines related to the water cycle?
It is related to the water cycle because a wheel and axle is found in a water wheel and a water wheel collects water from rivers and water could be put into that river through runoff
What is mechanical energy
Energy that is possessed by an object due to its position
What is the atomic mass
The number of protons and neutrons inside an element
How are the rock cycle and water cycle related?
They are related because of runoff and sediments from rivers
What is an occluded front?
An occluded front is a front that forms when a cold front takes over an occluded front?
