Front

What does inertia mean?

Back

Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion.

Front

What is the definition of convection?

Back

Convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids (liquids or gases) due to differences in temperature.

Front

What is the formula for Newton's Second Law?

Back

F = ma (Force equals mass times acceleration).

Front

What is an example of conduction?

Back

Heat transfer through direct contact, such as a metal spoon getting hot in a pot of boiling water.

Front

What is the role of oxygen in sustaining life on a planet?

Back

Oxygen is essential for respiration in most living organisms.

Front

What happens to a steel ball in a moving box when the box suddenly stops?

Back

Because of inertia, the ball continues rolling forward at the same speed.

Front

What is an example of radiation?

Back

Heat transfer through electromagnetic waves, such as sunlight warming your skin.

Front

What is the difference between conduction and convection?

Back

Conduction is heat transfer through direct contact, while convection is heat transfer through fluid movement.
