Back

energy

Front

Ability to do work

Back

chemical reaction

Front

A change in which one or more substances are converted into new substances.

Back

inertia

Front

Resistance of an object to a change in its motion

Back

gravity

Front

A force of attraction between objects that is due to their masses.

Back

mechanical energy

Front

Kinetic or potential energy associated with the motion or position of an object

Back

kinetic Energy

Front

Energy of motion

Back

intervening variable

Front

a factor influenced by an independent variable that affects the changes in a dependent variable

Back

Energy

Front

-Can be converted from one form to another -Ability to do work or produce heat

Back

Motion

Front

An object's change in position relative to a reference point.

Back

electrical energy

Front

Energy of moving electrons which creates electricity and currents.

Back

measure

Front

To determine the size, amount, or degree of an object by comparison with a standard unit.

Back

simple machine

Front

A machine that does work with only one movement

Back

chemical energy

Front

Energy stored in chemical bonds

Back

newton

Front

A unit of measure that equals the force required to accelerate 1 kilogram of mass at 1 meter per second per second

Back

Front

Coal, oil, natural gas, and other fuels that are ancient remains of plants and animals.

Back

thrust

Front

the reaction force that propels a rocket forward

Back

law of conservation or energy

Front

Energy cannot be created or destroyed

Back

weight

Front

A measure of the force of gravity on an object

Back

lever

Front

A rigid bar that is free to move around a fixed point

Back

acceleration

Front

A change in speed or direction

Back

turbine

Front

A machine for producing power in which a wheel or rotor is made to revolve by a fast-moving flow of water, steam, gas, or air.

Back

position

Front

the location of an object

Back

mass

Front

A measure of the amount of matter in an object

Back

Newton's second law of Motion

Front

The acceleration of an object is equal to the net force acting on the object divided by the objects mas

Back

net force

Front

The combination of all forces acting on an object

Back

force

Front

A push or a pull

Back

dependent variable

Front

The outcome factor; the variable that may change in response to manipulations of the independent variable .

Back

Newton's first law of motion

Front

an object in motion will remain in motion unless acted upon by another force -Law of Inertia

Back

independent variable

Front

The experimental factor that is manipulated; the variable whose effect is being studied.

Back

stability

Front

the quality of being free from change or variation

Back

fulcrum

Front

The fixed point a lever rotates around

Back

action

Front

A neural impulse; a brief electrical charge that travels down an axon.
