Scientists publish their research and new discoveries in these
What is a science journal?
This is the energy caused by movement or moving objects. (general)
What is kinetic energy?
Momentum = _______ x _________
What is Mass x Velocity?
This describes the distance something travels over a given time without consideration of the direction
What is speed?
On earth, this is the force that pulls objects to the ground.
What is gravity?
This variable is deliberately changed in an experiment, it is usually plotted on the x-axis
What is the independent variable?
This is energy caused by the position of an object relative to a different object (general)
What is potential energy?
This type of collision has momentum being lost to the surroundings
What is an Inelastic Collision?
The is measuring the distance traveled over time, while still including the direction/path
What is velocity?
Force = ________ x ____________
What is mass x acceleration?
This describes two sets of data that have a numerical relationship. (but one doesn't necessarily cause the other)
What is Correlation?
This is specific energy caused by the position of an object in relation to a massive object (like a planet)
What is gravitational potential energy?
This is an object that is launched or thrown from a stationary object. Usually, its path is measured in 2 dimensions.
What is projectile?
This tells you how fast you are speeding up, or how fast your velocity is changing
What is acceleration?
These are the units for Force
What are Newtons? or kg*m/s2
The group in an experiment that receives no special treatment and is used for comparison
What is control group?
This is the specific energy stored in the molecules (bonds) of certain materials (like food)
What is chemical energy?
This type of acceleration is experienced by objects spinning in a circle. It keeps the object on the circular path.
What is centripetal acceleration?
This measurement tells me the distance from my starting position to my final position (and ignores distance traveled)
What is displacement?
This is the tendency of an object to stay at rest or in constant motion.
What is inertia?
This is a fake or false treatment given to subjects in the control group of certain health experiments
What is a placebo?
This specific energy is caused by waves radiating through space (ex. x-rays & radio waves)
What is electromagnetic energy?
This is the direction of the acceleration of an object moving in a circle.
What is towards the center?
In a graph of an object's position at different time periods, the slope will tell me this measurement
What is velocity?
This law states that every action has an equal and opposite reaction
What is Newton's 3rd Law?
