1. | metric unit of measure for mass |
3. | when objects collide, the sum of their momentums (p) before & after the collision are equal; m1v1=m2v2 |
4. | the ability to do work (to make a mass move) |
5. | an experiment in which tests of a hypothesis are identical except for changes in a single independent variable |
7. | an educated guess which is either supported or not when conclusions are drawn |
9. | metrix prefix showing that 1000 units are present; for example, 1 km = 1000m |
11. | term for negative acceleration |
12. | description of velocity when a distance/time graph is a straight line |
13. | multiplication of force by a simple machine; MA; equals output force divided by input force |
14. | rise over run; (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) |
18. | sum of potential & kinetic energy when there's no friction |
19. | how much matter an object contains; measured in g or kg; constant anywhere in the universe |
20. | equals 746 watts |
23. | watts; the rate at which energy is used; work/time |
24. | equals the mass of object times g; the force gravity exerts on a mass; changes if g changes |
25. | the sum of all forces acting on an object |
27. | acceleration due to gravity; 9.8 m/s/s on earth |
29. | type of stored energy; equals mass times gravity times height; increases with the height of an object |
31. | property of matter increasing with mass & resisting changes in motion |
32. | Newton's law stating that objects remain at rest unless acted on by unbalanced forces |
33. | a push or a pull |
34. | type of graphical relationship showing one value increasing as the other is decreasing |
36. | rotating (balancing) point for a lever |
37. | the variable that changes as a result of the manipulations in the independent variable; usually graphed on the y axis |
39. | Newton's law stating that F=ma |
46. | metric unit of measure for length |
48. | multiple by which kinetic energy increases if speed increases three times |
