100
The transfer of energy from one physical system to another, especially the transfer of energy to a body by the application of a force that moves the body in the direction of the force.
What is work?
100
The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one mole or one gram of a substance by one degree Celcius without change of phase.
What is Heat capacity?
100
Knowledge or information based on real occurences.
What is a Fact?
100
The scientific study of matter in outer space, especially the positions, dimensions, distribution, motion, composition, energy, and evolution of celestial bodies and phenomenon.
What is Astronomy?
200
Chemical, electromagnetic, electrical, heat, kinetic, Mechanical, nuclear, potential
What are forms of work?
200
Also known as energy change of a reaction, it is the amount of energy or heat absorbed in a reaction. If the energy is required, it is positive, if energy is released, it is negative.
What is Enthalpy?
200
The result or outcome of an act or process.
What is a conclusion?
200
A self-luminous celestial body consisting of a mass of gas held together by its own gravity in which the energy generated by nuclear reactions in the interior is balanced by the outflow of energy to the surface, and the inward-directed gas and radiation pressures.
What is a star?
300
The rate at which work is done, expressed as the amount of work per unit time and commonly measured in units such as the watt and horsepower.
What is power?
300
For a closed thermodynamic system, a quantitative measure of the amount of thermal energy not available to do work.
What is Entropy?
300
states that every occurrence is connected in a specific way to a preceding event
What is cause and effect?
300
Any of numerous large-scale aggregates of stars, gas, and dust that constitute the universe, containing an average of 100 billion solar masses and ranging in diameter from 1,500 to 300,000 light-years.
What is a galaxy?
400
A breif dynamic event consisting of the close approach of two or more particles, such as atoms, resulting in an abrupt change of momentum or exchange of energy.
What are collisions?
400
any compound that does not contain carbon
What is inorganic compounds?
400
A schematic description of a system, theory, or phenomenon that accounts for its known or inferred properties and may be used for further study of its characteristics.
What is a model?
400
a system of planets or other bodies orbiting a star
What is a solar system?
500
the product of a particle's mass times its velocity. It is a vector quantity.
What is Momentum?
500
Ionic compound with only 2 kinds of atoms
What are Binary ionic compounds?
500
This is a statement of fact meant to explain, in concise terms, an action or set of actions. It is generally accepted to be true and universal, and can sometimes be expressed in terms of a single mathematical equation. They are accepted at face value based upon the fact that they have always been observed to be true. Some include, the law of gravity, the law of thermodynamics, and Hook's law of elasticity.
What is a Scientific Law?
500
a nonluminous celestial body larger than an asteriod or comet, illuminated by light from a star, such as the sun, around which it revolves.
What is a planet?
