    Subdecks (1)

    Cards (60)

    • Atomic number
      Protons = Electrons
    • Atomic mass
      Atomic number + Neutrons
    • Compound
      2 or more elements bonded
    • Molecule of elements

      Different groups, same elements but bonded
    • Mixture
      Nothing is bonded except for individuals
    • Speed
      Distance and time
    • Acceleration
      Change in speed and change in direction
    • Velocity
      Speed and direction (distance, time and direction)
    • Newton's laws
      • Inertia
      • F=ma
      • Equal and opposite force pairs
    • Inertia
      A body either remains at rest or continues to move at a consistent velocity unless acted upon by a net external force
    • Inertia
      • It's difficult to move something heavy but it is easy to move something light
    • Force (F=ma)
      The vector sum of the external forces (f) on an object equal to the mass (m) of that object multiplied by the acceleration vector (a) of that object
    • A body accelerates in the direction of the direction of the sum of the forces applied to it
    • The mass of the object determines how much acceleration is felt
    • Equal and opposite force pairs

      When one body exerts a force on a second body, the second body simultaneously exerts a force equal in magnitude and opposite in direction on the first body
    • Energy forms
      • Kinetic
      • Potential
      • Mechanical
      • Chemical
      • Thermal
      • Electrical
      • Radiant or electromagnetic
      • Nuclear
    • Energy
      The ability to do work or cause change, does not have mass or take up space, only visible through matter
    • Kinetic energy
      Energy presently performing work
    • Potential energy
      Stored energy, not presently performing work
    • Mechanical energy
      Kinetic mechanical: energy of motion of large objects, Potential mechanical: energy stored in large objects or a mass of particles (because of position)
    • Chemical energy
      Energy stored in the bonds between atoms, such as ionic or covalent bonds
    • Thermal energy
      Energy of vibrational motion in atoms and molecules, measured as temperature (above absolute zero), most energy transformation processes eventually produce thermal energy as their final form
    • Electrical energy
      Energy found in charged particles (protons (+) or electrons (-))
    • Radiant or electromagnetic energy

      Only form that doesn't need matter to be transmitted, can only be kinetic
    • Nuclear energy
      Energy stored in the nucleus of atoms released either in nuclear fusion (fusing two nuclei into one nucleus) or fission (breaking one nucleus into two nuclei)
    • The law of conservation states that energy cannot be destroyed but only transformed (converted) into different forms
    • Plate boundaries
      • Convergent
      • Divergent
      • Transform
    • Convergent
      Towards each other, form mountains, subduction = one goes under (submerges)
    • Divergent
      Divide, form rift valleys, form ocean ridges
    • Transform
      One above and one under, form earthquakes
    • Summer
      Falls into winter
    • Winter
      Springs into summer
    • Prokaryotes
      No nucleus
    • Plant cell
      • Cell wall, has chloroplast, large volecule
    • Animal cells
      • Numerous small molecules, circular, non-rigid shape
    • Universe
      • Galaxy
      • Nebula
      • Stars
      • Planets
    • Sun
      Average, medium size, main sequence, yellow
