Question 1

Graduated cylinder

Answer 1

an instrument for measuring volume whose sides are marked

Question 2

universal law of gravitation

Answer 2

principle that states the gravitational farce between 2 objects depends on the masses of the objects and the distance between them

Question 3

spring scale

Answer 3

a balance that measures WEIGHT by the tension on the spring (all my blishish peeps think tension on the J)

Question 4

balance

Answer 4

a device used for measuring MASS of something by putting it on 1 side and putting weights on the other until it balances

Question 5

beaker

Answer 5

a wide cylindrical glass with a pouring lip used in laboritories

Question 6

density

Answer 6

ratio between the mass and the volume of an object

Question 7

force

Answer 7

the influence of a body that causes a push or pull

Question 8

newton

Answer 8

mesurement of acceleration

Question 9

weight

Answer 9

measure of gravitational force on an object

Question 10

gravity

Answer 10

the force on an object by the earth

Question 11

kilo

Answer 11

one thousand

Question 12

centi

Answer 12

100th .00

Question 13

milli

Answer 13

one thousandth

Question 14

scientific method

Answer 14

question, research, hypothesis, experiment, analysis, conclusion (you use it to answer a scientifical problemo)

Question 15

theory

Answer 15

a question or hypothesis that has been tested a bunch and have all had the same result

Question 16

scientific law

Answer 16

a statement about a theory that has been tested even more and still had the same result (like eating a ton of candy will get you sick………maybe i should…….retest it……a couple more times) :D

Question 17

volume

Answer 17

amount oif space in a thing like a bucket or a bag…….for candy :D (scientific law)

Question 18

mass

Answer 18

the amount of stuff in a thing like a candy bag with lots of mass………..is a good thing

Question 19

matter

Answer 19

anything that has mass or takes up space

Question 20

meter

Answer 20

SI unit for length

Question 21

gram

Answer 21

SI unit for mass

Question 22

ml

Answer 22

one thousandth of the SI unit for volume (it’s a bad thing to only have 1 mL of candy)

Question 23

cubic cm

Answer 23

a measurement that is pretty much the same as a mL (note the rubik’s cube)

Question 24

velocity

Answer 24

measurement of speed wid direction (with one direction :D)

Question 25

Acceleration

Answer 25

rate @ which velocity changes (now how can i bring that back to 1D…..oh well ONE DIRECTION!!!!)

Question 26

potential energy

Answer 26

by an objects postion how much energy it will have

Question 27

Kinetic energy

Answer 27

energy of an object because its moving

Question 28

momentum

Answer 28

the thing you gain as you race out of the classroom on the last day of school and the teacher says “i need to have a word with you” OR if you want the boring answer its the mass times velocity of an object

Question 29

Friction

Answer 29

force opposing motion when two objects touch

Question 30

Newton’s laws of motion

Answer 30

annoying…… but if you want the “right” answer its 1.) an object in motion stays in motion, an object at rest stays at rest 2.) when an unbalanced force acts on an object the object will shoot off in the directio of the unbalnced force 3.) when A acts on B, B will act with equal force on A

Question 31

fulcrum

Answer 31

rigid point or support at which a lever pivots (the part of a machine thtat’s to blame when your doing something and it spins up and hits your face)

Question 32

Work

Answer 32

a transference of energy (sounds painful…….)

Question 33

joule

Answer 33

a newton meter or a measure of energy/work (should be the name of a zany fruity candy)

Question 34

power

Answer 34

measure indicating rate of doing work (MAXIMUM POWER!!!!)
