PLMAT 2 Flashcards
Law of interaction
every action there is an equal but opposite reaction.
Law of acceleration
acceleration of object is proportional to net force
Weight π
gravitational attraction exerted by earth
Mass
amount of matter
Volume
measure of space π
Momentum
product of mass and velocity.
p = m x v.
ο»Ώ
Distance
length between reference point and designated position
Displacement
length between initial and final position.
Velocity
how fast an object moves in a given time
Two types of motion
curvilinear motion ex: Uniformly accelerated motion, Projectile
Linear Motion ex: freefall
Uniformly accelerated motion ππ¨
maintains constant acceleration ππ¨
Projectile
only force acting is on gravity.
Circular motion β
force exerted on object directed towards the center.
Motion
easy to recognize but hard to describe.
Rate
quantity per unit of time
The most important parts of the eye are the: EIPLR
a. eyelid - opens and shuts the eye
b. iris - regulates amount of light entering the eye
c. pupil - opens and closes to control intensity
d. lens - refracts light to form images
e. retina - a screen where image is formed π±
Nearsighted
see near objects but has difficulty focusing on far.
Farsighted
see far objects clearly but difficulty focusing near objects.
Astigmatism
unevenness in the curvature of the lens
Telescope
view large objects at very far distances
Radioactivity
process of atomic transformation.
Radiation
released?
energy released during a nuclear reaction.
Ionizing radiation
ββ
_______ ________
enough energy to separate molecules
(4) general types of chemical reaction: CDSD
Composition/ Synthesis Reaction
two/more elements combine to form one compound.
Decomposition / Analysis
one compound breaks into two/ more
Single displacement
reactants replaces one of elements
Double displacement
two compounds produce 2 new compounds
