Conceptual Physics Midterm Exam
Questions With Correct Answers
Scientific Method - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-!. Recognize a problem
| | | | | | |
2. Make an educated guess-a hypothesis- about the answer.
| | | | | | | |
3. Predict the consequences of the hypothesis.
| | | | | |
4. Perform experiments to test predictions.
| | | | |
5. Formulate the simplest general rule that organizes the main
| | | | | | | | | |
ingredients: hypothesis, prediction, and experimental outcome.
| | | | |
fact - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-a close agreement by competent observers
| | | | | | | |
|who make a series of observations of the same phenomenon.
| | | | | | | | |
hypothesis - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-an educated guess that is not fully
| | | | | | | | | |
accepted until demonstrated by experiment.
| | | |
laws/principles - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-hypothesis that are tested over
| | | | | | | |
and over and not contradicted.
| | | |
, 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.
| | | | | |
Force - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-a push or a pull
| | | | | | |
net force - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-the combination of all forces acting
| | | | | | | | | |
on an object
| |
vector - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-an arrow that represents the magnitude
| | | | | | | |
and direction of a quantity.
| | | | |
vector quantity - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-a quantity that needs both
| | | | | | | | |
magnitude and direction for a complete description. | | | | | |
scalar quantity - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-is a quantity that can be
| | | | | | | | | |
described by magnitude only and has no direction.
| | | | | | |
Mechanical Equilibrium - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-a state wherein no
| | | | | | | |
physical changes occure;it is a state of steadiness.
| | | | | | |
equilibrium rule - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-whenever the net force on an
| | | | | | | | | |
object is zero, the object is said to be in mechanical equilibrium.
