Science Overview
SI Unit stands for
The science of quantity is...
Mathematics
Kinetic energy
The branch of physics that deals with thermal heat AND energy.
Thermodynamics
List the states of matter:
Solid, liquid, gas.
The process which scientists form questions based on observations?
Hypothesizing (Hypothesis)
Convert 8 x 10-³ to expanded form.
0.008
Disturbances moving through substances (i.e. sound or the ocean) is what kind of energy?
Wave energy
Define heat
Which ex-Disney star described God's existence using the theory of matter?
China-Ann McClain
What is the orderly process by which scientists investigate questions and observations?
The Scientific Method
Calculate density
density = mass / volume
Translational kinetic energy relies on speed. What is the formula for calculating the speed over time?
Speed = Distance / Time
The formula for heat capacity
C = Q / change of temp.
or (heat capacity = heat/temp. change)
Take the equation for speed and use it to find the equation for time.
T = D / S
1.) observing 2.) hypothesizing 3.) experimenting
The places (in a number) that are certain along with an uncertain place are known as...
Significant Figures
The name of the physicist who who defined the joule comes from mechanics (the branch of physics that studies motion).
James Prescott Joule
What is the most important component of a heat pump?
Refrigerant
Think of the Fibonacci numbers... what type of spiral does this method form?
Logarithmic spiral
The study of the composition and interactions of matter.
Chemistry
What are the formulas to solve for fahrenheit AND celsius?
F = 9/5(C) +32
C= 5/9(F - 32)
will also accept:
F=(9/5)(C+40)-40 or C=(5/9)(F+40)-40.
Describe rotational kinetic energy.
(along the lines of..) increasing mass or speed of a rotation.
How does evaporation occur?
Evaporation occurs more rapidly at higher temperatures because the liquid molecules are moving faster. (pg. 101).
(Biblically) why study science?
Psalm 8, David observed God's physical creation and was in awe.
Proper study of science will lead man to glorify God.
Genesis 1:28 - God gave man the authority to subdue his creation... we must take care and use His creation to our advantage.
