In class, 28 students are given 4 pens. If there are 8 pens in 1 package, how many packages of pens need to be purchased? 14 packages
What do most scientific experiments (ADI's) begin with? The guiding question
What is a hypothesis? An if/then statement that can be tested
What do we call any part of an experiment that changes? A variable
What are constants (controls) in an experiment? Variables that must be controlled to remain the same
What is an independent variable? The variable that the scientist controls and changes
What is a dependant variable? The variable that the scientist is measuring
Kate is trying to figure out how much people's paychecks will be depending on the number of hours they work. What are the dependant and independent variables? Independent variable: # of hours worked Dependant variable: How much paychecks are
Chris says the winner of the football game depends on who scores the most points. What is the independent and dependant variable in this scenario? Independent variable: Who scores the more points Dependent variable: The winner of the football game
Holly sees how many portraits she can make in an amount of time drawing. What is the independent and dependant variable in this scenario Independent variable: The amount of time spent drawing Dependant variable: # of portraits made
Define speed The time it takes to travel a defined distance
How do you calculate speed? Divide distance by time
What units do we use generally to measure speed using the metric system? meters per second m/s
What is the difference between velocity and speed? Velocity is the speed in a specific direction
A car goes 100km/hr for 10 hours. How far did it go? 1000 km
A slow jogger runs for 30 minutes and goes 3km. What is her speed? 0.1 km/m
A very fast puppy runs 4 meters per second for 4 seconds. How far does it run? 16 meters
A ball is rolling down a hill at 20 cm/min. It rolls for 2,100cm. How long does it roll? 105 min
Define acceleration Change in velocity over time
How do you calculate acceleration? Final velocity minus initial velocity divided by time
What is a force? A push or a pull
What is mass? The amount of matter an object contains
What are balanced forces? Forces that are equal and opposite and cancel each other out
What are unbalanced forces? Forces that are not equal and opposite and do not cancel each other out
What kind of forces cause objects to move or to stop moving? Unbalanced forces
What is a net force? The total force acting on an object
Martha pulls a box with a force of 50N to the right. Randy pulls with a force of 110N to the left. In which direction will the chair accelerate? What is the net force acting on the chair? Toward Randy to the left, and the net force is 60N left
State Newton's 1st law of motion An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion unless acted on by an unbalanced force
State Newton's 2nd law of motion F=m*a or a=f/m
State Newton's 3rd law of motion For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction
Give an example of Newton's 1st law A ball will stay in place until something pushes it, then it will continue rolling until friction slows it down or it hits something.
Give an example of Newton's 2nd law It takes more force to push a boulder than a small rock
Give an example of Newton's 3rd law When a rocket blasts down, it shoots up.
What is Inertia? The tendency of an object to want to keep doing what it is doing
What determines how much inertia an object has? Mass
What is the correct unit for force? Newton
Which law of motion relates to action/reaction forces? 3rd Law
How does inertia relate to heavy objects and lighter objects? Meaning... which is easier to push and why? Heavier objects will be harder to push because heavier objects have more inertia
Explain this concept using Newton’s 3rd Law of Motion: You press down on the water with a beach ball and you feel the water pushing back up. As you push down on the water with the beach ball, the water presses back up on you and the beach ball
Which law is the Law of inertia? Newton’s 1st law
What are the two factors that determine the amount of force an object has according to Newton’s 2nd Law of Motion? Mass and acceleration
Explain the equation F = m*a To determine force you need to multiply mass by acceleration
Explain the equation a = F/m To determine acceleration you need to divide the force by mass
What are the two main categories of energy? Potential and Kinetic
The ability to do work is Energy
What is the energy of motion? Kinetic energy
What is stored energy? Potential energy
Something can have potential energy due to what 2 things? Height or mass
What is chemical energy? Give an example Stored energy in the form of chemicals, in the food you eat
What is nuclear energy? Give an example Stored energy in atoms, the sun
What is electrical energy? Give an example Energy in the form of electricity
What is thermal energy? Give an example Energy in the form of heat, a heater
What is radiant energy? Give an example Light energy, a light bulb
What is mechanical energy? Give an example Energy that produces sound, yelling
Describe the energy transformation that happens in a flashlight Chemical energy in the battery is converted to electrical energy in the wires which are converted to light energy in the bulb
Describe the energy transformation that happens in a toaster Electrical energy from the plug is converted to heat and light energy
Describe the transfer of energy as you rub your hands together Mechanical energy from moving creates friction which creates thermal energy
Describe the transfer of energy on a roller coaster starting at the top of the first hill, going down to the lowest point, then going back up to the top of the second hill The roller coaster is all potential energy at the top of a hill, and it converts to kinetic energy as the roller coaster moves down, then the kinetic energy moves back to potential energy as it goes back up the hill
What is the main source of energy from which we get our electricity? Fossil fuels
What are 6 other alternative sources of energy other than this main source? Wind, Solar, Geothermal, Hydroelectric, Biomass, and Nuclear
What source of energy uses the power of moving air? Wind
What source of energy uses the heat from the Earth? Geothermal
What source of energy uses the power of moving water? Hydroelectric
What source of energy uses energy stored in the nucleus of uranium atoms? Nuclear
What source of energy is the power of the sun? Solar/Radiant
What source of energy uses organic materials like plants and animals? Biomass
What is a wave? A transfer of energy from one place to another
What are the two categories of waves based on what they move through? Mechanical and electromagnetic
