1
New cards

terminal velocity

  • object has weight

  • accelerates

  • drag - which increases when speed increases

  • drag = weight

  • resultant force = 0

  • constant speed

2
New cards

brownian motion

  • smoke particles move with random motion

  • collide with smaller particles

3
New cards

higher refractive index…

the angle of refraction will be smaller than the angle of incidence and the light will be refracted towards the normal of the surface

4
New cards

investigating magnetic field

  1. sprinkle iron fillings

  2. place bar magnet underneath paper

  3. iron filings align with magnetic field

5
New cards

simple electromagnet

connect wire to circuit and cause the current to flow

6
New cards

motor effect!

  1. wire carrying current experiences a temporary magnetic field

  2. temporary magnetic field interacts with permanent magnetic field of bar magnets

  3. creates a force, causing wire to turn

7
New cards

loudspeaker motor effect

  1. wire carrying current experiences a temporary magnetic field

  2. temporary magnetic field interacts with permanent magnetic field of bar magnets

  3. creates a force, moving the speaker cone

  4. speaker cone vibrates air particles, which creates sound that reaches your ears

8
New cards

convection

  • warm air expands, less dense, rises

  • cool air denser, sinks

  • convection is repeated

9
New cards

nuclear fission’s chain reaction

  • single neutron fired at Uranium nucleus

  • splits into 2 daughter nuclei

  • releases up to 3 neutrons, collide with other Uranium nuclei

  • kinetic energy release

10
New cards

small star cycle

  • nebula

  • main sequence - forces are balanced and hyrogen nuclei join (nuclear fusion) - thermal and light energy released

  • hydrogen fuel runs out

  • star expands to become red giant

  • shrinks: white drawf

  • cools: black drawf

11
New cards

large star

  • nebula

  • burn hydrogen fuel

  • runs out - red supergiant

  • supernova

  • neutron star OR black hole
