Simple & Complex Machines
The starting point you use to describe the motion or the position of an object.
What is the reference point?
This law states that an object at rest stays at rest unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
What is Newton's First Law of Motion?
This is the energy an object has because of its motion.
What is kinetic energy?
This describes how well a substance dissolves in another substance?
What is solubility?
These move faster when this happens.
What happens to particles as temperature increases?
Velocity includes both an object's speed and this.
What is direction?
This is the tendency of an object to resist a change in motion.
What is inertia?
This type of energy is stored in food and batteries?
What is chemical energy?
The amount of matter in an object
What is Mass?
This is what happens when heat transfers through direct contact.
What is conduction?
A non-contact attractive force that exists between all objects that have mass.
What is gravity?
This law states that for every action force, there is an equal but opposite reaction force. The action-reaction forces are called a force pair.
What is Newton's Third Law?
The energy produced by the vibration of objects is called
What is sound energy?
A solid that forms as a result of a chemical reaction between two liquids
What is a precipitate?
Circular movement of fluids caused by heating and cooling.
What are convection currents?
A contact force that resists the sliding motion between two objects that are touching.
What is friction?
When these forces act on an object, the object does not change its motion.
What are balanced forces?
Which type of energy comes from the movement of charged particles?
What is electrical energy?
A change in the size, shape, form, or state of matter that does not create a new substance.
Which is a physical change?
As particles slow down and move closer together, this process causes a material to become smaller.
What is thermal contraction?
The distance and direction an object moves from its starting point
What is displacement?
This law states that the acceleration of an object increases as the force acting on it increases and decreases as the mass of the object increases.
What is Newton's Second Law of Motion?
Energy that comes from the Earth's movement during an earthquake.
What is seismic energy?
These have a definite shape and volume.
What are solids?
The total kinetic and potential energy of particles in a material.
What is thermal energy?
