Q

What is the law of conservation of energy?

A
  • No energy is created nor lost, everything is simply tranferred or transformed
  • The energy in an isolated system will always remain constant

Q

How would you calculate gravitational potential energy?

A 
Ep=mgh
Ep= graviatational potential energy (J)
m= mass (kg)
g= gravitational field intensity
h= height (m)
19
Q

What is Mechanical energy? How would you calculate it?

A

The sum of Ek and Ep
Em= Ek+Ep
Emi=Emf

20
Q

The law of conservation of energy states that in a frictionless system…

A

Em remains constant

21
Q

What is force?

A
  • Force is the factor which changes the motion or shape of an object through pushing and pulling.
  • It is always represented by an arrow or a vector
  • It accelerates or decerlerates an object as well as change its tradgectory
22
Q

Force is represented in N, therefore…

A

F = N = kg x m/s^2

23
Q

Gravitational force (fg) is the attraction between two bodies on account of their masses and the environment’s gravitational constant (acceleration of all free falling things regardless of mass). Therefore…

A 
Fg = mg
Fg= gravitational force (N)
m= mass (kg)
g= gravitational constant/field intensity
24
Q

Speed is affected by the amount of distance over a certain time period. Therefore…

A 
v= d/Δt
v= velocity (m/s)
d= distance (m)
Δt= variation of time (s)
25
Q

What is the difference between mass and weight?

A

Mass: the quantity of matter in an object
vs
Weight: Gravitational force acting on an object

26
Q

What is effective force?

A

The force component that alters the motion of an object

27
Q

How do you calculate sin, cos, and tan

A 
sin = opp/hyp
cos = adj/hyp
tan = opp/adj
28
Q

What is work?

A

when a force applied to an object causes it to move in the same direction of said force

29
Q

What is the difference between a physical and chemical change?

A

Physical changes dont alter the nature nor the characteristics of matter, the atoms and molecules do not change
vs
Chemical changes DO alter the nature and characteristics of matter, the atoms and molecules DO change

30
Q

What is a nuclear tranformation?

A

when the particles in the nucleus rearrange and new elements are created

31
Q

What indicates chemical change?

A

release of gas, change of colour, release or taking iin of heat, emission of light, precipitate

32
Q

State what symbols s,l,g, and aq stand for

A

solid, liquid, gas, aqueous

33
Q

What rules must be followed when balancing chemical equations?

A

Coefs must be whole numbers and small as possible, new substances should never be added, substances should never be removed, subscripts must never be changed, should always be checked by counting atoms on each side

34
Q

What is stoichiometry?

A

The study of the quantity of reactants required for reactions to occur and the quantity of transformed products

35
Q

What is the difference between exothermic and endothermic reactions?

A

Exothermic: The release of heat
Endothermic: The absorption of heat

36
Q

Reminder: The energy needed to break or form a bond depends on if they are single or double bonds.

A

Yeah.

37
Q

How can you tell if a reaction is endothermic or exothermic?

A

Endothermic: Takes from the temperature around it, causes temperature of surrounding environment to decrease, will take in more enrgy
Exothermic: Releases energy in to environment, not in need of constant energy, will release more energy

38
Q

What are the different types of chemical recations?

A

Synthesis: Reactants join to form a product
Decomposition: Compund that seperates into several compound
Precipitation: When an insoluble substnace is created from the combination of two solutions
Acid-Base neutralization: React with an acid and a base that result in water and salt
Oxidation: Where O is part of the given reactants
Combustion: Form of oxidation that releases a large amount of energy
Cellular respiration and photosynthesis:
- CR: chemical change where glucose and O are used to generate carbon dioxide and water
- PS: chemical change where carbon dioxide and water generate glucose and O

39
Q

What is the triangle of fire?

A

What is needed to create combustion.

  1. Oxidizing agent: Substance to cause a fuel to react
  2. A fuel: substance that releases energy when reacting with O
  3. Ignition temperature: Minimum temp where energy is sufficient to start combustion
40
Q

What are the three types of combustion?

A

Rapid combustion (e.g., burning candle), Spontaneous combustion(e.g, forest fires) , slow combustion (e.g., cellular respiration)

41
Q

What is nuclear stability?

A

State of the nucleus in which the nuclear force is greater than the forces of electrical repulsion between protons

42
Q

What is radioactivity?

A

the natural process where an unstable atom transforms into a more stable one(s) while releasing energy in the form of radiation

43
Q

What is Half-life?

A

the time it takes for half the nuclei in a sample of radioactive material to decay

44
Q

what is nuclear fission? Whats the difference between nuclear fusion?

A

when nuclei split to form two or more nuclei

vs when nuclei joing together to form a heavier nuclei
