Physics- Chapter 1- The Science of
Physics
branches of physics, scientific method, use of models in physics, as well tools
to measure and collect data - correct answer ✔what to expect from this
chapter
use small number of basic concepts, equations, and assumptions to describe
the physical world. - correct answer ✔goal of physics
thermodynamics, electromagnetism, optics, vibrations and mechanical waves,
and mechanics. - correct answer ✔types of physics that take place in a car
temperature, size, motion, position, shape or color involves physics - correct
answer ✔what involves physics?
mechanics - correct answer ✔motion and its causes, interaction between
objects e.x. Falling objects, friction, weight, spinning object
thermodynamics - correct answer ✔heat and temperature ex melting,
freezing, process, engines and refrigerators,
vibrations and wave phenomena - correct answer ✔specific types of
repetitive motions ex. Springs, pendulums, sound
optics - correct answer ✔light ex. Mirrors, lenses, color, astronomy
electromagnetism - correct answer ✔electricity, magnetism, and light ex.
Electrical charge, circuitry, permanent magnets, electromagnets
, relativity - correct answer ✔particles moving at any speed, including very
high speeds ex particle collision, particle accelerators ,mane nuclear energy
quantum mechanics - correct answer ✔behavior of submicroscopic particles
ex. The atom and its parts
observe, hypothesize, interpret, and conclude - correct answer ✔steps of
scientific method
model - correct answer ✔a pattern, plan, representation, or description
designed to show the structure or workings of an object, system or concept.
system - correct answer ✔a set of particles or interacting components
considered to be a distinct physical entity for the purpose of study
hypothesis - correct answer ✔an explanation that is based on prior scientific
research or observations and that can be tested
all objects fall at the same rate in the absence of air resistance - correct
answer ✔Galileo's theories on objects falling
controlled experiment - correct answer ✔an experiment that tests only one
factor at a time by using a comparison of a control group with an experimental
group
metovrq - correct answer ✔mechanics, electromagnetism, thermodynamics,
optics, vibrations and wave phenomena, relativity, and quantum mechanics
