Semester 2 Exam Review Chapters 9, 10, 11, 14, 12, 15, 21, & 22
Chapter 9 Forces and Motion
#1: Define describe how to calculate speed, velocity, and acceleration • Speed: Distance traveled divided by the time taken to travel that distance • Velocity: Tells how fast an object is moving and its direction • Acceleration: Change in speed or direction (or both)
SPEED Distance traveled divided by the time taken to travel that distance Distance Time Motion and Speed
MOTION The change of position of an object relative to a reference point A reference point is an object that appears to stay in place Can be described by position, speed, and direction What is motion?
#2: Newton’s Laws of Motion • Newton’s 1st Law • Newton’s 2nd Law • Newton’s 3rd Law
Newton’s 1st Law of Motion An object at rest remains at rest An object in motion remains in motion Unless an unbalanced force acts on it Newton’s First Law of Motion
Newton’s 2nd Law of Motion The acceleration of an object depends on the mass of the object and the amount of force applied F = m x a Newton’s Second Law of Motion
Newton’s 3rd Law of Motion All forces come in pairs For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction AKA the Law of Action and Reaction Newton’s Third Law of Motion
Gravity Mass Weight A force of attraction between objects that is due to their masses Amount of matter in an object Does not change Unit = kilogram (kg) Measure of the gravitational force on an object Changes when gravitational force changes Unit = newton (N) #3: Gravity, Mass, & Weight
AIR RESISTANCE The force that opposes the motion of falling objects Depends on size, shape, and speed of the object Air Resistance
#4: Law of Conservation of Momentum • Law of Conservation of Momentum: • Any time objects collide, the total amount of momentum is conserved, or stays the same • Momentum can be transferred from one object to another during a collision
NET FORCE Combination of ALL forces acting on an object ADD all forces in the same direction SUBTRACT forces in opposite directions #5: Net Force
Balanced Force Unbalanced Force The net force on an object is 0 Newtons Object’s motion will not change The net force on an object is not equal to 0 Newtons Can change the motion of an object #6: Balanced vs. Unbalanced Forces
BALANCED UNBALANCED
Chapter 10 The Energy of Waves
#7: Properties of Waves • Wave: any disturbance that carries energy through matter or empty space • Electromagnetic waves: waves that do not require a medium (ex. UV rays, x rays, microwaves)
Properties of Waves Amplitude Wavelength Frequency Height of the wave from rest position Distance from one wave to the next Number of waves produced in a given amount of time
#8: Wavelength v = λ x f v = Wave Speed λ = Wavelength f = frequency
REFLECTION What happens when a wave bounces back after hitting a barrier Reflection
REFRACTION The bending of a wave as it passes from one medium to another at an angle Refraction
Longitudinal Wave Particles vibrate in back and forth motion #11: Longitudinal vs. Transverse Waves
Transverse Wave Particles vibrate in up and down motion #11: Longitudinal vs. Transverse Waves
#12: Vibration • Vibrations can cause wave disturbances • Vibration: a repetitive back and forth motion
Chapter 11 Heat and Temperature
Temperature Thermal Energy Thermal Expansion Measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in an object The total kinetic energy of the particles that make up a substance An increase in volume of a substance due to an increase in temperature #13: Temperature, Thermal Expansion, & Thermal Energy
What happens when objects at different temperatures come into contact? Energy is transferred Thermal energy transferred from the warmer object to the cooler object until both have the same temperature Heat Transfer Between Objects
Are thermal energy transfers efficient? They are not 100% efficient Some energy is lost as heat to the surroundings Efficiency of Heat Transfers
Conduction Convection Radiation The transfer of thermal energy from one substance to another through direct contact The transfer of thermal energy by the movement or circulation of a liquid or a gas The transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves #14: Conduction, Convection, & Radiation
#15: Energy Transfers • Chemical to Thermal energy: burning natural gas to heat water • Thermal to Mechanical energy: steam locomotive train • Mechanical to Thermal energy: Rubbing hands together • Mechanical to Electromagnetic energy: A generator
Chapter 14 Earth’s Systems and Cycles
Earth’s Spheres • Geosphere – all the features on Earth’s surface and below the surface • Atmosphere – mixtures of gases that surround and protect Earth • Biosphere – all life on Earth • Hydrosphere – all water on Earth
#16: Describe the processes that change the landscape of Earth. • Plate tectonics: mountain building, earthquakes, volcanoes • Earthquakes: deformation of rocks, destruction of natural habitats • Volcanoes: destruction of natural habitats • Erosions: creates canyons and valleys
#17: Describe each layer of the Earth’s atmosphere • Troposphere: atmospheric layer in which we live • Stratosphere: temperatures rise with altitude; contains ozone layer that absorbs harmful UV rays • Mesosphere: coldest layer • Thermosphere: warmest layer
#18: Explain how the Earth’s atmospheric layers are classified • Layers are classified by temperature and altitude
#19: Water cycle, Nitrogen Cycle, Carbon Cycle • Water Cycle: Continuous movement of water between the atmosphere, the land, and the oceans; Steps include evaporation, transpiration, condensation, precipitation, runoff, and percolation • Nitrogen Cycle: the process in which nitrogen circulates among the air, soil, water, plants, and animals in an ecosystem • Carbon Cycle: the movement of carbon from the nonliving environment into living things and back
#21: Explain what happens when plate boundaries/tectonic plates move • Most earthquakes happen at plate boundaries
Chapter 15 Environmental Problems and Solutions
#23: Environmental Problems • Pollution • Garbage • Chemicals • Radioactive wastes • Gases • Noise • Resource Depletion • Overpopulation • Habitat Destruction
#24: Habitat Destruction • When habitats are destroyed, biodiversity is lost.
#25: Define Conservation • The preservation and wise use of natural resources • Practice the 3 R’s • Reduce • Reuse • Recycle
#26: Benefits of Conservation • Reduces waste and pollution • Fewer natural resources are used and depleted
