Scientific Method
This is the first step of the scientific method.
What is asking a question
The change in position of an object with respect to its surroundings in a given interval of time
What is motion?
An object in motion stays in motion will stay in motion and an object at rest will stay at rest unless acted upon by a force
What is Newton's first law?
Quantities that are fully described by a magnitude (or numerical value) alone.
What are scalars?
This is the 2nd second step of the scientific method
What is doing background research
A change in position over time
What is velocity?
An object will accelerate if force is applied to it. The acceleration will happen in the direction of the force. The acceleration will be less as the object gets bigger.
What is Newton's Second Law
Quantities that are fully described by both a magnitude and a direction
What is a vector?
An educated guess about how things work. It is an attempt to answer your question with an explanation that can be tested.
What is a hypothesis
A change in velocity over time
For every action there is always an equal and opposite reaction.
What is Newton's Third Law
Seeming reasonable or probable
What is plausible?
An independent variable, dependent, constant, etc. are all part of this.
What is an experiment
A ball rolling on the floor will eventually slow down and stop because of this force
What is friction?
The force of gravity
What is 9.81m/s^2
A fact or situation that is observed to exist or happen, especially one whose cause or explanation is in question.
What is a phenomenon?
These are the last three steps of the scientific method
What is analyzing data, drawing a conclusion and communicating results
A moving object whose velocity is not changing is in this state
What is equilibrium?
This is the force acting upon the paper that's resting on your table
What is the normal force?
Something that deviates from what is standard, normal, or expected.
What is an anomaly?
