Q

What is a kilowatt hour? How do you calculate it?

A

How people measue how much energy you use in a month

E = P × T E = kilowatt- hour (kwh)
P = kilowatts. T = hours

25
What is a polymer?
A Long chain of molecules They can be natural or man- made
26
What do the terms endothermic and exothermic mean?
Endothermic: absorb energy Exothermic: Release energy
27
What are the different pieces of evidence for chemical reactions?
- Color change - state of matter change - energy change - change in smell
28
What is law of conservation of mass?
In a chemical reaction matter is transformed not destroyed
29
Why does incomplete combustion happen?
Not enough oxygen is available
30
What are the 2 gas chemicals that contribute to acid deposition?
- Sulfur dioxide (SO²) - nitrogen oxide (NO)
31
What is reaction time?
The time it takes for you to notice a hazard and act on it
32
What are distractors? What are their effects on reaction time?
Anything that takes your focus away from the road Slows it greatly
33

38
How do you calculate speed
Speed = distance ÷ time V = d ÷ t
39
What does the slope of a graph represent?
The steepness or speed of the line
40
How do you calculate distance when you have speed and time?
Distance = Speed × Time d = V × t
41
What is momentum, and how do you calculate it?
A measure of an objects motion and if it will stay in motion P = M × V P= Momentum M= Mass V = Speed
42
What is impulse? How do you calculate it?
Change in momentum Impulse = Force × Time
43
What is the safest way of using impulse to slow you down
Small force, longer time
44
What is the law of conservation of momentum?
The total momentum of two colliding objects stays the same after the collision
