The calorie was originally defined as the amount of heat required at a pressure of 1 standard atmosphere to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water 1° Celsius.

Newton's First Law of Motion (Inertia) An object at rest remains at rest, and an object in motion remains in motion at constant speed and in a straight line unless acted on by an unbalanced force.

Newton´s first law of motion

The study of matter, analyzing its structure, properties and behavior to see what happens when they change in chemical reactions.

Energy is defined as the “ability to do work, which is the ability to exert a force causing displacement of an object.

Acceleration is defined as the change in the velocity vector in a time interval, divided by the time interval.

A centripetal force is a net force that acts on an object to keep it moving along a circular path.

Technology is the application of scientific knowledge to the practical aims of human life or, as it is sometimes phrased, to the change and manipulation of the human environment.

Fossil fuel is a generic term for non-renewable energy sources such as coal, coal products, natural gas, derived gas, crude oil, petroleum products and non-renewable wastes.

Celsius is a temperature range in which 0 degrees reflects the freezing point of water, and 100 degrees is the boiling point of water at the normal atmosphere, which is the mean barometric pressure at the mean sea level.

His third law states that for every action (force) in nature there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Inertia, property of a body by virtue of which it opposes any agency that attempts to put it in motion or, if it is moving, to change the magnitude or direction of its velocity.

Absolute zero, temperature at which a thermodynamic system has the lowest energy.

The conservation of momentum states that, within some problem domain, the amount of momentum remains constant; momentum is neither created nor destroyed, but only changed through the action of forces as described by Newton's laws of motion.

Genetics is the scientific study of genes and heredity—of how certain qualities or traits are passed from parents to offspring as a result of changes in DNA sequence.
