Vocabulary
When does friction happen, and what is a product of it?
When two objects touch or rub together, causing one of the objects to slow down. Friction produces heat.
EX: A ball rolling over the grass.
Stepping onto a dock from a boat, and the boat pushes backwards as you step forward?
Law 3:
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction
An energy pyramid offers a visual understanding of how organisms interact within a food chain. The level of the pyramid with the most available energy is always the producer, which is located where?
What percent is passed from one organism's level to another?
On the bottom of the pyramid
10%
193 N represents what?
Force
This subatomic particle, which carries a negative charge, is the only one that actually moves during static discharge.
Electron
What is intertia?
An object's ability to resist changing what it is already doing.
Taking more force to move or accelerate an item like a basketball, then a ping pong ball.
Law 2:
Force = Mass x Acceleration
What is gravity known to do?
Bring something back down toward Earth
46 m/s represents what?
Speed
This fundamental law of electrostatics states that a positive charge and a negative charge will do this to one another.
Attract
This scalar quantity is defined simply as the distance traveled divided by the time it took to get there.
Speed
While playing kickball, players look onward as the ball gets kicked over their heads and rolls toward the back of the field. It only stops because it runs into the fence.
Law 1:
An object in motion tends to stay in motion, and an object at rest tends to stay at rest unless acted on by an outside force.
A little girl is sitting on top of her desk. What forces are keeping the girl in place?
The girl is pushing down on her desk, while her desk is pushing up on the girl with an equal amount of force.
134 kg represents what?
Mass
Regardless of size, every magnet has exactly two of these, labeled North and South.
Poles
Unlike speed, this quantity is a vector, meaning it includes both a numerical value and a specific direction.
Speed + Direction
Velocity
Jumping up and down really quickly on a pogo stick gives you a headache when you go inside.
Law 1
If I am trying to push a heavy box with friends, and we push it 25 N to the right, 30 N to the left, and 60 N to the right, what is the net force strength and direction of the box?
55 N to the right
950 km/hr East represents what?
Velocity
This giant spark of static electricity occurs when a massive buildup of charge in a cloud discharges to the ground.
Lightning
If the line on the distance-time graph is curving upward (getting steeper), the object is undergoing this process.
Accelerating
How is a balloon being filled with air and released out, an example of newton's third law of motion?
The balloon is filled with air, and the air is released causing the air to come out of the balloon while also flying around in the air. This is an example of newton's 3rd law: equal and opposite reaction
What is the formula to calculate force?
F=ma
12 m/s squared represents what?
Acceleration
This device uses a metal needle that aligns with Earth's magnetic field to help with navigation.
Compass
