Mendel Answer-discovered principles of genetics 1865
Mendelyeev Answer-created periodic table 1869
wright brothers Answer-designed motorized airplane 1905
einstein Answer-theory of relativity 1916
florence sabin Answer-discovered origins of blood 1917
1st law of thermodynamics Answer-always as much energy after something happens as
there was before it happened
2nd law of thermo Answer-everything directs itself toward the lowest energy state with
the most equal distribution of resources
work Answer-process of an object being moved over a distance in response to some
force being applied
power Answer-rate or measure of the time work can be done (work/time)
, Praxis II 5511 Science; Questions & Answers
(A+)
force Answer-pressure or change applied to an object and includes gravity, electic, and
magnets. can be measured in N or pounds. F=mass*acceleration
speed Answer-how far something travels in a specific time (s=d/t)
potential energy Answer-energy that could possibly do the work if it was released or a
force imposed on the object
kinetic energy Answer-energy that does the work or energy that is recurring
conservation of mass/matter Answer-matter can neither be created or destroyed but it
can be rearranged. sum of matter and energy in universe stays the same
conservation of energy Answer-energy remains constant in a system and cannot be
recreated, but can change forms
conservation of momentum Answer-total momentum remains the same unless acted
upon by an outside force demonstrated by the equation p=mv momentum=mass*velocity
charge conservation Answer-electric charge can neither be created nor destroyed but is
always conserved
