  • Magnitude and direction
    What two entities comprise a vector?
  • Velocity
    What quantity is calculated from slope of the displacement versus time graph?
  • Displacement
    What is the area under the velocity time graph?
  • Zero
    What is the horizontal acceleration of projectiles?
  • Vertical direction
    What direction controls time in falling body and projectile motion problems?
  • Weight ... w=mg
    What force is always present, and what is its equation?
  • It is towards the center and downwards a little. It is the sum of the normal force perpendicular to the bowl and the weight downwards.
    A ball rolls inside a salad bowl. The ball is released along the top edge and rolls down before climbing to the same height on the opposite side of the bowl. What is the direction of the acceleration of the ball when it at the top edge of the bowl?
  • The acceleration is towards the center. It is supplied by the normal force and points towards the center.
    A ball rolls inside a salad bowl. The ball is released along the top edge and rolls down before climbing to the same height on the opposite side of the bowl. What is the direction of the acceleration of the ball when it at the bottom of the bowl?
  • The centripetal force is the net force. It's magnitude is calculated from F=ma where "a" is the centripetal force.
    Mathematically what does centripetal force represent and how is centripetal force calculated?
  • Zero. Because the displacement is perpendicular to the force (centripetal force.)

    How much work is the work done on an object moving in a circle? Why?
  • Impulse is the change in momentum
    What is impulse?
  • Absorbance
    Light that does not pass through a solution A = abc
  • Activation
    Minimum energy needs to be added to a system in order for the chemical reaction to occur
  • Alpha Particle
    He2+ 2 protons, mass number = 4, 2+ charge Highly ionizing particle; Low energy
  • Anion
    Negatively charge ion
  • Arrhenius Acid
    Donates a H+ ion
  • Arrhenius Base
    Donates a OH- ion
  • Atom
    Smallest constituent unit of ordinary matter that has the properties of a chemical element
  • Atomic Mass
    Average of all naturally occurring isotopes
  • Atomic Number
    Number of protons; defines the atom
  • Beta Particle
    -1 proton, mass number =0; medium ionizing ability, medium energy
  • Boiling
    Phase change from a liquid to a gas
  • Bronsted-Lowry Acid
    Donates a proton, H+
  • Bronsted-Lowry Base
    Accepts a proton, H+
  • Calorimetry
    Means of measuring the heat gained/ lost by a system during a chemical reaction
  • Catalyst
    Lowers the activation energy. Not a reactant. Not a product
  • Cation
    Positively charged ion
  • Chemical Equilibrium
    Rate of the forward reaction equals the rate of the reverse reaction
  • Condensation
    Phase change from a gas to a liquid
  • Conversion Factor
    Allows for the conversion from one unit of measure to another
  • Covalent Bond
    Bond formed by the sharing of electrons between atoms.
  • Deposition
    Phase change from a gas to a solid
  • Dipole-dipole
    Permanent IMF present in polar molecules
  • Direct Relationship
    Relationship between two variables where when one changes, the other changes in the same manner
  • Dissociate
    To break into ions
  • Dissolve
    To break into smaller pieces
  • Distillation
    Process of separating liquids based on differences in boiling temperatures
  • Double bond
    Two shared pairs of electrons
  • Electrolyte
    Dissociates into charge particles which are capable of conducting electricity
  • Electrolytic Cell 

    Redox reaction that is spontaneous
