science Flashcards
atmosphere
the thin layer of gases that surrounds
climate change
change in global weather patterns
incomplete combustion
when a fuel burns with a lack of oxygen
atoms bonded to one carbon monoxide
carbon dioxide
molecule containg two oxygen atoms bonded to one carbon atom
greenhouse gas
a gas that stops heat escaping from earth into space
carbon footprint
the total amount of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases given out over the life of a product
particulate
small solid particle given off from vehicles as a result of incomplete combustion
nitrogen oxides
toxic gases produced when the high temperature inside an engine makes nitrogen
carbon monoxide
a molecule containg a carbon atom bonded to an oxygen atom
force(n)
force=mass x acceleration
weight(n)
weight X gravitational field strength
Density (kg/m2)
Density=mass ÷ volume
moments (N/M)
moments=force X distance
terminal velocity
constant speed that a freely falling object
