Unit 1: Metric System

Term Definition in your OWN words Picture or Drawing Definition from textbook or science website New information ("new stuff" you learned from textbook, notes, or website = need 2 things/term) Rate Yourself (4,3,2,1)
mass How much stuff is in an object. A measurement of the amount of matter in an object.
  1. mass stays the same wherever you are in the universe (it is conserved)
  2. mass is different than weight, however on Earth they are very similar.

Unit 2: Forces and Motion [Due Monday, October 19]

Term Definition in your OWN words Picture or Drawing Definition from textbook or science website New information ("new stuff" you learned from textbook, notes, or website = need 2 things/term)
Rate Yourself (4,3,2,1)
motion

Motion is when the distance between one object and another are changing.

  The state in which one object's distance from another is changing.
  1. You need to have a point that is not moving to measure motion.
  2. It's not just movement.
3
force Force is a push or a pull on an object.   A push or a pull exerted on an object.

1. Different kinds of forces.

 

2.  Some objects won't move without a force put on them.

3
velocity Velocity is a speed in a certain direction.   Velocity is speed in a given direction.
  1.   With velocity you need to know the direction.
  2.   Velocity is pretty much the same as speed.
3
speed Speed is the distance the object travels in a certain amount of time.   The distance an object travels in one unit of time.
  1.   Speed is more than just how fast an object is moving.
  2. Speed isn't just measured using a watch. 
3
momentum Momentum is result of an object's mass and velocity.   The product of an object's mass and velocity.
  1. Momentum has to do with mass.

2. Momentum is not how much speed you get running.

2
Newton's 1st Law Newton's first law of motion is that if an object is at rest, it will remain at rest and an object moving at a constant speed will continue moving unless stopped by a force moving the opposite direction. Newton's first law of motion states that if an object at rest will remain at rest and an object that is moving at a constant speed will continue moving unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
  1.  The force exerted on an object has to be unbalanced.
  2. An object moving at a constant speed will continue moving unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. 
3
Newton's 2nd Law Newton's 2nd law is that the net force on an object is equal to the result of its acceleration and its mass. 

 

 

 F=MA

Newton's second law of motion states that the net force on an object is equal to the product of its acceleration and it's mass.
  1. The net force is equal to the product of it's acceleration and mass.
  2. It has something to do with an object's acceleration and mass. 
2
Newton's 3rd Law Newton's third law of motion says that if one object puts force on another object, then the second object puts a force of the same strength in the opposite direction of the original object.   Newton's third law of motion states that if one object exerts a force on another object, then the second object exerts a force of equal strength in the opposite direction on the first object.
  1. If one object exerts a force on another object, then the second object exerts a force of equal strength in the opposite direction on the first object.
  2. The product force exerted is of equal strength.
