2425 Honors Mini Semester Review

Front

What is Newton's Second Law of Force and Acceleration?

Back

It states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass. Formula: F = ma.

Front

What is the principle of Convection?

Back

Convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids (liquids or gases). Warm air rises, causing cooler air to move down.

Front

What does the Law of Conservation of Mass state?

Back

In a chemical reaction, the total mass of the reactants equals the total mass of the products.

Front

What happens when forces are balanced?

Back

When forces are balanced, the object remains at rest or continues to move at a constant velocity.

Front

How does temperature relate to particle motion?

Back

The greater the motion of particles in a substance, the higher the substance's temperature.

Front

What is Newton's First Law of Inertia?

Back

An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by a net external force.

Front

What is Newton's Third Law of Action-Reaction?

Back

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Front

What is the difference between conduction, convection, and radiation?

Back

Conduction is heat transfer through direct contact, convection is heat transfer through fluid movement, and radiation is heat transfer through electromagnetic waves.

Front

What is an example of a balanced force?

Back

A box sitting on a table with equal weight pushing down and the table pushing up.

Front

What is an example of an unbalanced force?

Back

A car accelerating forward when the engine exerts more force than friction.
