Questions With Correct Answers
Scientific Method - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Principles and procedures
| | | | | | |
for the systematic pursuit of knowledge involving the recognition and
| | | | | | | | | |
formulation of a problem, the collection of data through observation
| | | | | | | | | |
and experiment, and the formulation and testing of a hypotheses
| | | | | | | | |
Hypothesis - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-An educated guess; a reasonable
| | | | | | | |
explanation of an observation or experimental result that is not fully
| | | | | | | | | | |
accepted as factual until tested over and over again by experiment
| | | | | | | | | |
Scientific Attitude - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-The scientific method
| | | | | | |
inclined toward inquiry, integrity, and humility
| | | | |
Fact - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-A statement about the world that
| | | | | | | | |
competent observers who have made a series of observations agree on
| | | | | | | | | |
Law - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-A general hypothesis or statement about
| | | | | | | | |
the relationship of natural quantities that has been tested over and over
| | | | | | | | | | |
again and has not been contradicted. Also known as principle
| | | | | | | | | |
, Theory - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-A synthesis of a large body of
| | | | | | | | | |
information that encompasses well-tested and verified hypotheses
| | | | | | |
about certain aspects of the natural world
| | | | | |
Pseudoscience - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Fake science that pretends to | | | | | | | |
be real science
| |
Inertia - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-The property of things to resist changes
| | | | | | | | | |
in motion
|
Newton's First Law of Motion (The law of inertia) - CORRECT
| | | | | | | | | | |
ANSWER✔✔-Every object continues in a state of rest or of uniform | | | | | | | | | | |
speed in a straight line unless acted on by a nonzero net force
| | | | | | | | | | | |
Force - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-In the simplest sense, a push or pull
| | | | | | | | | |
Net Force - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-The vector sum of forces that act on
| | | | | | | | | | | |
an object
|
Vector - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-An arrow drawn to scale used to
| | | | | | | | | |
represent a vector quantity | | |
Vector Quantity - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-A quantity that has both
| | | | | | | | |
magnitude and direction, such as force | | | | |
