Year 10 Science: Chemical Reactions and Survival on the Roads

Vocabulary flashcards covering chemical reaction types, laws of motion, and assessment details for the Year 10 Science course.

Combustion

A type of important chemical reaction that occurs in non-living systems and involves energy transfer.

Reaction of acids

Chemical processes involving metals and carbonates that occur in non-living systems, as well as processes such as digestion in living systems.

Corrosion

An investigation-based type of chemical reaction that occurs in non-living systems involving energy transfer.

Precipitation

A specific category of chemical reaction occurring in non-living systems that involves energy transfer.

Neutralisation

A type of chemical reaction involving energy transfer investigated within non-living systems.

Decomposition

One of the range of chemical reactions occurring in non-living systems involving energy transfer.

Respiration

An example of an important chemical reaction that occurs in living systems and involves energy transfer.

Atoms

The basic units that all matter is composed of; they are rearranged during chemical reactions rather than being created or destroyed.

Catalysts

A factor that, along with temperature, describes the effects on the rate of some common chemical reactions.

Newton's first law

The specific law of physics used to analyse everyday situations involving motion qualitatively.

Velocity

A physical quantity that is distinct from speed and is related to displacement, time, and acceleration.

Displacement

A variable whose relationship with time, velocity, and acceleration is described using the equations of motion.

Acceleration

A variable related to force and mass in everyday situations, and used within the equations of motion alongside displacement, time, and velocity.

Task weighting

The value of the Half Yearly Exam, which is recorded as $50\%$ of the total assessment.

Writing time

The duration allotted for the exam, which is exactly $75\,\text{minutes}$.

Reading time

The period designated at the start of the exam, which is $5\,\text{minutes}$.
