Why is velocity considered a vector measurement?

Velocity is a vector measurement because it is solved using displacement divided by time.

What is a variable in an experiment?

A variable is the part of an experiment that can be changed or manipulated.

An experiment is how we test problems and hypotheses.

What is data in the context of experiments?

Data is a list of information gathered from the experiment.

What is a trial in an experiment?

A trial is one of the times that a test of an experiment is done.

Define procedure in an experiment.

Procedure is the steps explaining how an experiment should be conducted.

What is potential energy?

Potential energy is stored energy that is dependent on position like height.

What is chemical energy?

Chemical energy is stored energy that is released during reactions.

What is kinetic energy?

Kinetic energy is the energy of moving objects.

Fusion is the combining of the nucleus.

Fission is the splitting of the nucleus.

Inertia is an object’s ability to resist changes in motion/position.

Friction is when two surfaces rub together and produce heat and static.

Gravity is the force acting on all objects in our atmosphere.

Force is an action that causes motion.

Equilibrium is when all of the forces that are acting on an object are balanced.

What is an insulator?

An insulator resists the flow of heat/electricity.

A conductor allows heat transfer by the direct contact of objects.

Define radiation in terms of heat transfer.

Radiation is heat transfer by electromagnetic waves (objects are not touching).

Convection is the transfer of heat in fluids like gas & liquid involving the rise of warm air and sinking cold air.

Conduction supports the flow of heat/electricity.

An electron is a subatomic particle that never enters the nucleus and is negatively charged. It is transferred or shared during chemical reactions.

A proton is a subatomic particle that is in the nucleus and is positively charged. It gives the atom its identity.

A neutron is a subatomic particle in the nucleus to keep protons from repelling one another. It is a neutral particle with no charge.

What is the nucleus of an atom?

The nucleus is the center of the atom that holds the neutrons and protons.

What is the periodic table?

The periodic table is a table or diagram created by scientists to organize all the elements by increasing atomic numbers and arranged in rows and columns of similar elements.

What is charge in terms of an atom?

Charge is the total electronegativity of the atom, the positive plus the negative.

An ion is an atom that has a charge because it has different numbers of protons and electrons.

An isotope is an atom that has the same identity and therefore the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons giving it a different atomic mass.

What is the atomic number?

The atomic number is the number of protons inside the nucleus of the atom.
