• friction • Air resistance • Tension • Normal contact • Upthrust • Push/pull Name 3 non-contact forces • Electrostatic • Magnetism • gravity What is Hookes law • Extension proportional to force Does plastic return to its original form? • no Does elastic return to original form? • It does, until you reach its elastic potential What causes push and pull? • Interaction between object How do you measure pressure? • Force/area • Pa, N/m(squared), n/cm(squared) What do simple machines do? • They increase a force or changes location What is moment? • The turning effect of a force How do you measure moment? • Force (times) distance • N/m, N, m What is force resolution? • Adding up or subtracting forces What happens if an object’s force is balanced? • it does whatever it was previously doing What happens if an object’s force is unbalanced? • It changes shape, speed or direction What is the universe? • The universe is literally everything. What are galaxies? • Clusters of solar systems orbiting black holes What is our galaxy called? • Milky way What are solar systems? • Its where planets, comets or asteroids orbit stars. Which planets are in our solar system? (order them from closest to the sun to the furthest away from the sun) • Mercury • Venus • Earth • Mars • Jupiter • Saturn • Uranus • neptune Which planets are gas giants? • Jupiter • Saturn • Uranus • neptune Which planets are rocky planets? • venus • Mercury • Earth • mars what does a nebula turn into? • A star What is the speed of light? • 300,000,000 m/s What are exoplanets? • Planets outside our solar system what is the periodic table? • A list of element arranged based on their properties what are the columns on a periodic table called? • groups What are the rows on the periodic table called? • periods What is the boron staircase? • A staircase on the periodic table that splits the metals from the non-metals. Where would you find group one and is it reactive? • Group one is found on the top left and it consists of reactive alkali metals What can you find in group 7? • halogens What can you find in group 0? • Unreactive noble gasses. What are mixtures? • mixture is made from different substances that are not chemically joined. What is a pure substance? • A pure substance consists of only one element. This can be either a compound or an element. What are atoms? • Atoms are tiny particles that make up everything. What charge is a proton? • positive What charge is a neutron? • It is uncharged (neutral) What charge is an electron? • negative What four layers does the earth have? • Crust • Mantle • Outer core • Inner core
