Vocabulary :

contact force - a push or pull on an object by another object that is touching it

force- a push or pull on an object

friction- force that resists the motion of two surfaces that are touching

gravity- attractive force that exists between all objects that have mass

mass- amount of matter in an object

noncontact force- a force one object can apply to another object without touching it

significant- important; momentous

static- at rest or having no motion

weight- gravitational force exerted on an object

Study for entrance ticket tomorrow on the remainder of words. Please be mindful on the steps you take to study these words as I write out the word and you will provide me with the definitions.

Check on google classroom the worksheets uploaded that you will be needing finish and submit them to me on docs or physically in class. Documents “Forms of Energy” & “Island on Fire”

Vocabulary: Transition onto index cards

chemical energy stored in and released from the bonds between atoms

electric energy in an electric current

energy ability to cause change

kinetic energy energy due to motion

mechanical energy sum of potential energy and kinetic energy in a system

nuclear energy stored in and released from the nucleus of an atom

potential energy stored energy due to the interaction between objects or particles

radiant energy carried by electromagnetic waves

sound energy carried by sound waves

speed distance an object moves per unit of time

thermal energy sum of kinetic energy and potential energy of the particles that make up an object

wave disturbance that transfers energy from one place to another without transferring matter

Triple Beam Balance -The triple beam balance is used to measure masses very precisely; the reading error is 0.05 gram. With the pan empty, move the three sliders on the three beams to their leftmost positions, so that the balance reads zero.
