 THE PERIODIC
TABLE OF
ELEMENTS
• The Periodic Table of Elements
organizes the elements in our
universe according to how
many protons each one has,
and how many shells it has.

 MASSES
• In physics, mass is the measurement of a solid object’s resistance to force,
which has to do with how densely its atoms are packed within its size.
 MASS VS. WEIGHT
•
•

•
 CENTER OF MASS
• The center of mass is the average position of
an object’s weight distribution. For simple,
uniform objects, the center of mass is located
at the geometric center. The center of mass
can also be located outside an object.

• In physics, an object’s path of action is called its

MOTION •
•

• If the object is moving toward or away from the camera, it can

appear to be moving faster or slower even if it’s moving
uniformly
