Semester 1 Flashcards
What kind of forces are Gravity and Magnets?
Non- Contact
What are the 3 things the atoms in a magnet are made of?
- Protons
- Neutrons
- Electrons
The North Pole of a magnet is attracted to the
South Pole
The magnets are at its strongest at the
Ends
What can a force be
A push
A twist
A pull
What does Inertia mean?
When something stays still.
What can be used to measure forces?
A Spring Balance
What does it mean if an objects forces are unbalanced.
Not constantly moving or staying still.
Which components are inside of the Atom in the Nucleas
Protons and Neutrons
How can you produce static electricity?
Friction
If something is neutral it has
No Charge
Motion
The change of motion
air resistance
Friction between an object and the air around it and slows the object down
friction
A force that slows objects down, occurs whenever one object tries to move over another
mass
Measurement of how much matter is in an object
inertia?
The tendency to resist any change in motion
Weight
The pulling force of gravity on an object
Stability
Balanced
Magnetic pole
The ends of a magnet
Compass
An instrument showing the direction of magnetic north
Attraction
A force that draws objects together
Repulsion
A force by which objects repel one another
Magnet
Attracts objects containing metal
Electromagnet
A type of magnet in which the magnetic field is produced by an electric current
Electric field
A force field that exists around an electric charge
Atom
Tiny particles that everything is made up of
Insulator
Objects that do not allow electricity to pass through them
Conductor
Metallic objects that allow electricity to pass through them
Positively charged
An object that has more protons than electrons
Negatively charged
An object that has more electrons than protons
Static electricity
The type of electricity in charged objects
Electrostatic force
Objects inside this field will experience electrostatic force
Electrons
Negative component in static electricity
and found outside the nucleas
Protons
Positively charged compenents found in the Nucleas
