Easy Does It
The study of matter & energy and how they behave.
What is Physics
Any change in the motion of an object.
What is acceleration.
A substance formed by chemical union of two or more elements or ingredients in definite proportion by weight
What is a compound
Book published in 1687 by Newton which describes laws of motion & gravitation.
What is Principia
Matter can neither be created or destroyed.
Law of conservation of matter (or mass).
The branch of physics that studies light.
What is Optics.
The total amount of motion of an object.
What is momentum.
The amount of matter an object is made of.
What is mass
Large masses spinning rapidly inside moveable frames
What is a gyroscope
If a pendulum of a certain length always swings at the same rate, it can be used to keep time.
What is the Law of Pendulum Motion
A statement that describes how things work in the universe.
What is a Scientific Law.
The speed of something in a given direction.
What is velocity.
The amount of space occupied by a 3 dimensional object.
What is volume
A behavior of waves & light where 2 sets of waves overlap & cross and cancel each other out in places.
What is Interference
An object continues in motion or an object remains at rest unless acted upon by a force.
What is Newton's 1st Law of Motion. Also called law of inertia.
Any floating object pushes aside or displaces an amount of water equal to its own weight.
What is Archimede's Principle
A measure of the amount of mass an object has compared to it's size.
What is density
The bending of a wave at the boundary between two materials.
What is refraction
Any 2 objects attract each other with a force that is directly proportional of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers.
What is Law of Universal Gravitation
Process by which an electric current is passed through a substance to effect a chemical change.
What is electrolysis.
A substance scientists in the 1700's believe was in the air with a negative weight. Clue, it doesn't exist!
What is phlogiston
What is diffraction
This law states that the strength of the force that the law describes is inversely proportional to the distance from the source of the force.
What is the Inverse Square Law.
