NEWTONS QUIZ

What are the relationships between force and motion?

The relationship between force and motion is very similar. force is the amount of pressure that is put on the object. The motion of the object is determined by the amount of force on the object and where the force is placed. Newtons three laws also determine whether the object will move or not


 What are the variables that affect motion and force?  

The variables that affect motion and force include the gravitational force and the friction placed on the object. variables also include M/S^2 and A=F/M 

 How does Newton’s three laws describe the motion of a moving 
object? 

Newtons three laws describe the different ways gravity and mass affect the movement of an object. 
the first law says "an object in motion tends to stay in motion unless an outside force acts upon it. in this case gravity affects us on a daily basis. without gravity airplanes would continue moving as well as all other objects. 

how does gravity impact objects? 

Gravity affects the way things move and what force is applied to them. newtons first law describes this. without gravity an object at rest will stay at rest and an object in motion will stay in motion unless an outside force acts upon it. also known as gravity.

proving newtons second law

How does mass and acceleration relate to force?

Materials used:
long wooden plank (track) toy car, weights, stop watch, data table

Hypothesis:
the more weight in the car would make it go down the slope faster

Procedure: 
have three different weights and three different clinch slopes. time all three weights for all three inclines.


  • gather materials
  • make chart according to procedure
  • set up an interval of weights to test 
  • find mass of car 
  • measure height of incline per every test
  • send cars down incline
  • find times via stopwatch
  • find results in data table
Conclusion: 
depending on the force of the object it changes the acceleration time

FANTASTIC FORCES
on February 6th, 2014 my physical science class to the museum of science to learn about motion and energy. we went to the fantastic forces show we saw experiments that proved newtons law of motion. "an object at motion will stay at motion until a object or force acts against it". in this case, when the lady doing to experiment the cup she slid on the ground reacted to friction. when the women was trying to jam a pencil through the block of wood the pencil would not penetrate it. then the women put the pencil in a pencil gun and the pencil penetrated it because there was more force.

BOBSLED ACTIVITY
to design the bobsled we had to chose what we wanted the design of the sled to be and what materials we needed. more friction of the sled would cause it to go slower. therefore we put two straws on the bottom of the sled. the slick base of the straws would make for a much faster ride. the weight of the batteries made the sled go faster due to the gravity acting upon it.

  Everything in chemistry involves elements. the elements are listed on a table according to atomic number. this table is called the periodic table. all organisms contain protons, neutrons, and electrons. when two bonds are formed between oppositely charged ions it is called an ionic bond. when a bond is formed by two neutral atoms. there are four groups of molecules that keep life forms functioning. carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids.

what are chemical reactions? a CHEMICAL REACTION is the change of a substance into a new one that has a different chemical identity. there are several different types of chemical reactions. combustion reactions, synthesis reactions, single-replacement reactions, double-replacement reactions, decomposition reactions.


                

 A chemical reaction rearranges the constituent atoms of the reactants to create different substances as products.

the periodic is a table in which different elements are organized. it is organized by the atomic number of the element and how the electrons of the element are organized. the atomic number is the number of protons that are in the nucleus. the electron affinity is when an electron is added to a neutral atom to make it a negative ion

flame test lab

some metal icons can be identified by the color of their flame during a flame test. different elements placed into a flame will turn the flame different colors. 

what metals do colors indicate? when you put the different metals in the fire depending on what metal it is the fire will react by differentiating in colors. 


chemical formula          name of metal          color produced 
Kno3                                 K                           peach
