Physical Science Flashcards
Radiation
Transfer of heat from the sun
Convection
Transfer of eat through electromagnetic waves
Conduction
Transfer of heat through touch
Physical Properties
Properties an object has that we can use our five senses to describe
Physical Changes
Changes that are physical meaning changes that we can see. We can also change the object back
Chemical Changes
Changes that can not be re-done
Chemical Properties
Properties that are only observable through chemical reactions
Average Speed
The distance that an object travels divided the time it took the object
Velocity
Speed and direction that an object is moving
Friction
The force two objects crate when the rub against each other
Newtons 1st Law
An object at rest stays at rest until acted upon by another object
Newtons 2nd Law
When two forces are balanced, no object moves. When forces are unbalanced, objects are in motion
Newtons 3rd Law
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction
Force
A push or a pull
