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
