False correct answers T/F Our environment stimulates our senses, either directly or indirectly,
through a total of four senses (sight, hearing, taste, and smell) that make it possible for us to
know about our environment.
True correct answers T/F A common descriptive definition is that time is the continuous, forward
flow of events.
Lenght correct answers The description of space might refer to a location or to the size of an
object (amount of space occupied). To measure these properties, we use the fundamental
quantity of ____________, the measurement of space in any direction.
Mass correct answers is the amount of matter an object contains.
True correct answers Science (from the Latin scientia, meaning "knowledge") may be defined as
an organized body of knowledge about the natural universe and the processes by which that
knowledge is acquired and tested.
Significant Figures correct answers is a method of expressing measured numbers properly, and
this method involves the accuracy of measurement and mathematical operations.
Standard Unit correct answers A _________ is a fixed and reproducible value for the purpose of
taking accurate measurements. Traditionally, a government or international body establishes a
standard unit.
Natural Universe correct answers In general, there are social sciences, which deal with human
society and individual relationships, and natural sciences, which investigate the ___________.
False correct answers T/F Two major systems of units in use today are the System of Units and
the British system.
Acceleration correct answers is defined as the time rate of change of velocity.
False correct answers T/F Physics, the most fundamental physical science, is concerned with the
basic principles and concepts that describe the workings of the Earth.
Instantaneous Velocity correct answers of an object is its velocity at that instant of time
Displacement correct answers is the straight-line distance between the initial and final positions,
with direction toward the final position, and is a vector quantity.
, Projectile Motion correct answers Another common motion in two dimensions is that of an
object thrown, called
Instantaneous Speed correct answers of an object is its speed at that instant of time.
False correct answers T/F Speed is a vector quantity, and velocity is a scalar quantity.
Motion correct answers If an object changes position, we say that _____ has occurred.
Position correct answers The term ___________ refers to the location of an object.
True correct answers T/F Velocity is similar to speed, but a direction is involved.
Friction correct answers ____________ is the ever-present resistance to relative motion that
occurs whenever two materials are in contact with each other, whether they are solids, liquids, or
gases.
Law of Universal Gravitation correct answers According to Newton's _________: Every particle
in the universe attracts every other particle with a force that is directly proportional to the
product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
Mass correct answers __________ is a measure of inertia. The greater the _______ of an object,
the greater its inertia, and vice versa.
True correct answers T/F Weight is related to the force of gravity (related to the gravitational
force acting on a mass or object).
Third correct answers Newton's ___________ law of motion may be stated as follows: For every
action there is an equal and opposite reaction. In this statement, the words action and reaction
refer to forces. The law is also stated another way: For every force there is an equal and opposite
force.
Inertia correct answers ______________ is the natural tendency of an object to remain in a state
of rest or in uniform motion in a straight line.
Second correct answers According to Newton's _________ law, an external net force will
produce a change in velocity or an acceleration.
Archimedes' Principle correct answers The upward force resulting from an object being wholly
or partially immersed in a fluid is called the buoyant force, which is summed up by _________.
First correct answers Newton's ______ law of motion: An object will remain at rest or in uniform
motion in a straight line unless acted on by an external, unbalanced force.
Force correct answers A _________ is a vector quantity capable of producing motion or a
change in motion.
