|---|---|
Atom | ![]() This is the the most basic building block of matter and chemicals. It consists of a nucleus and electron shell. |
Proton | A positively charged sub-atomic particle that resides within the nucleus. |
Neutron | A sub-atomic particle that has no charge and resides within the nucleus. |
Nucleus | The positively charged center of an atom which is made up of protons and neutrons and contains most of the atoms mass. |
Electrons | Negatively charged sub atomic particles that make up the outermost shell of the atom and surround the nucleus. |
Valence Electron | The last electron shell or energy level of an atom that determines its stability and cannot have more than 8 electrons. |
Octet Rule | A rule that states that an atom with 8 Valence Electrons is stable. |
Bohr Model | ![]() |
Matter | that which has mass and occupies space |
Change of state | When an element, such as water, goes from one state (Gas, liquid, solid) to another. Examples of this include submilation, freezing, melting, condensation, and evaporation. |
Submilation | ![]() The change of state from gas to solid or solid to gas. An example of this is dry ice. |
Condensation | The change of state from gas to liquid. |
Evaporation | The change of state from water to gas. |
Freezing | ![]() The change of state from liquid to solid |
Melting | The change of state from ice to liquid. |
Distance | Which formula is this? D=m/v |
Speed | Which formula is this? (r)=d/t |
Acceleration | Which formula is this? v(f)-v(i)/t |
Work | Which formula is this? w=fd |
Power | Which formula is this? P=w/t |
Motion | the act of changing location from one place to another |
Speed | The distance traveled divided by the time interval which the motion occured. |
Velocity | Speed of an object but only in one direction. |
Acceleration | The rate at which velocity changes. |
Force | A push or pull on an object that causes unbalanced forced resulting in the motion of an object. |
Newton | The unit (N) which force is measured in. |
Net Force | The total amount of forces combined in all directions on an object. Example- 1N west |
Friction | The force opposing motion. |
Gravity | The force of attraction between all masses in the universe. |
Terminal Velocity | The greatest velocity a falling object reaches. |
Free Fall | The motion of a falling object when the only force acting on it is gravity. |
Projectile Motion | The curved path that an object follows when thrown, launched, or otherwise projected near the surface of Earth. |
Inertia | An object will not move or stop unless an unbalenced force causes it to do so. |
Momentum | The force or speed with which something moves. |
Velocity | Which Formula is this? v=gt |
Gravity | Which Formula is this? g=9.8 m/s2 |
Force | Which Formula is this? F=ma |
Power | Which Formula is this? p=mv |
Pressure | The measure of force per unit area. |
Pascal | The unit in which pressure is measured also known as P and PA. |
Atmospheric Pressure | The pressure caused by the weight of the atmosphere. |
Density | The amount of matter in a certant space. |
Pascal's Principle | When force is applied to a confined fluid, the change in pressure, is transmitted equally to all parts of the fluid. |
Buoyant force | The upward force exerted by a fluid on a submerged object. |
Archimedes' Principle | States that the buoyant force on an object in a fluid is an upward force equal to the weight of the volume of fluid that the object displaces. |
Bernoulli's Principle | As the velocity of a fluid increases, the pressure exerted by the fluid decreases. |
Lift | The act of raising something. |
Thrust | The act of applying force to propel something. |
Drag | Pull, as against a resistance. |
