Newton's Laws of Motion | Work and Power | Simple Machines | Energy | Thermal Energy |
---|---|---|---|---|
What is Newton's 3rd Law of Motion?
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
|
What is motion or movement?
For work to be done, this must occur.
|
What is a pulley?
This simple machine consists of a rope that fits into a grove in a wheel.
|
What are potential and kinetic?
These are the two forms of energy.
|
What is heat?
This is the transfer of energy from one object to another because of temperature difference.
|
What is 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 outside force.
|
What is the formula used to calculate work?
Work = Force x Distance.
|
What is a wedge?
A boat moving through water is an example of this simple machine.
|
What are renewable and nonrenewable?
Energy sources fit into these two categories.
|
What are mass, temperature, and phase?
The thermal energy of an object depends on these three things.
|
What is Newton's 2nd Law of Motion?
F = m x a
|
What is power?
Doing work at a faster rate requires more of this.
|
What is a wheel and axle?
You use this type of simple machine to steer your car when you’re driving.
|
What is 9.8 m/s (squared)?
The acceleration due to gravity.
|
What is an external combustion engine?
The type of engine used to power a steam engine.
|
What is speed?
A measure of the rate at which an object moves.
|
What are joules?
The unit for measuring work.
|
What is a lever?
These simple machines have an input arm, output arm and a fulcrum.
|
What is nuclear energy?
A type of energy that involves fusion or fission.
|
What is a thermal insulator?
This is a material that conducts thermal energy poorly.
|
What is inertia?
The tendency of an object to resist a change in motion.
|
What is the formula used to calculate power?
Power = Work/Time.
|
What is mechanical advantage?
The number of times a machine increases an input force.
|
What is the law of conservation of energy?
This states that energy cannot be created or destroyed; only transferred in a different form.
|
What is specific heat?
This is the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of one gram of a material by one degree Celsius.
