Kinetic energy

100

The branch of physics that deals with thermal heat AND energy. 

Thermodynamics

100

List the states of matter:

Solid, liquid, gas.

200

The process which scientists form questions based on observations?

Hypothesizing (Hypothesis)

200

Convert 8 x 10-³ to expanded form. 

0.008

200

Disturbances moving through substances (i.e. sound or the ocean) is what kind of energy? 

Wave energy

200

Define heat

The transfer of thermal energy from an object of higher temperature to an object of lower temperature.

Which ex-Disney star described God's existence using the theory of matter? 

China-Ann McClain

300

What is the orderly process by which scientists investigate questions and observations?

The Scientific Method

300

Calculate density

density = mass / volume

300

Translational kinetic energy relies on speed. What is the formula for calculating the speed over time?

Speed = Distance / Time

300

The formula for heat capacity 

C = Q / change of temp.

or (heat capacity = heat/temp. change)

300

Take the equation for speed and use it to find the equation for time

T = D / S

400
list the three major steps of the scientific method (in order):

1.) observing 2.) hypothesizing 3.) experimenting 

400

The places (in a number) that are certain along with an uncertain place are known as...

Significant Figures

400

The name of the physicist who who defined the joule comes from mechanics (the branch of physics that studies motion). 

James Prescott Joule

400

What is the most important component of a heat pump?

Refrigerant 

400

Think of the Fibonacci numbers... what type of spiral does this method form?

Logarithmic spiral

500

The study of the composition and interactions of matter. 

Chemistry

500

What are the formulas to solve for fahrenheit AND celsius?

F = 9/5(C) +32

C= 5/9(F - 32)


will also accept: 

F=(9/5)(C+40)-40 or C=(5/9)(F+40)-40.

500

Describe rotational kinetic energy.

(along the lines of..) increasing mass or speed of a rotation. 

500

How does evaporation occur?

Evaporation occurs more rapidly at higher temperatures because the liquid molecules are moving faster. (pg. 101).

500

(Biblically) why study science?

Psalm 8, David observed God's physical creation and was in awe. 

Proper study of science will lead man to glorify God. 

Genesis 1:28 - God gave man the authority to subdue his creation... we must take care and use His creation to our advantage.
