Inertia
Thus property of matter causes an object to resist ay change in its motion.
What is inertia
Who is Isaac Newton
Unlike kinetic energy, which is energy of motion, potential energy is often defined as this type of energy
Newton's Third Law states that for every action, there is one of these that "equal and opposite"
What is a reaction
This "educated guess" is a testable prediction that often uses "if... then..." format
What is a hypothesis
Newton's First Law is often referred to by the name of this property.
What is the Law of Inertia
According to the second law, if you keep mass constant and double the force, this happens to the acceleration.
What is it doubles
Gravitational potential energy depends on two main factors: the object's mass and this, its distance above the ground.
What is height (or altitude)
To propel itself forward, a rocket pushes exhaust gases in this direction
What is backward (or down)
In an experiment, this is the factor that you intentionally change to see how it affects the outcome. variable
What is the independent
This physical quantity is the primary measure of an object's inertia; the more of it an object has, the harder it is to move,
What is mass
This is the standard metric unit used to measure force, defined as 1 kg-m/s.
What is a Newton
This type of potential energy is found in stretched rubber bands or compressed springs.
What is elastic potential energy
These "pairs" of forces always occur simultaneously and never act on the same object.
What are action-reaction pairs
This 11-letter word describes a state of balance or stability in a biological system.
homeostasis
To demonstrate inertia, you might quickly pull a tablecloth out from under these items without moving them.
What are dishes (or plates/glasses)
Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of this over time.
What is velocity
This is the specific type of potential energy stored in the bonds of food molecules and gasoline.
What is chemical potential energy
If you hit a wall with 50 Newtons of force, this is the amount of force the wall exerts back on your hand
What is 50 Newtons
This term refers to the "thickness" or internal friction of a fluid, like honey having more of it than water.
What is viscosity
Because it has both magnitude and direction, force is classified as this type of mathematical quantity
What is a vector
In the formula PE = mgh, the letter "g" represents this constant value, approximately 9.8 m/s.
What is acceleration due to gravity
This backward "kick" of a firearm after it is discharged is a classic example of Newton's Third Law.
What is recoil
Scientists use this 12-letter term for the process where a gas turns directly into a solid without becoming a liquid.
What is (or desublimation deposition)
