FULL STUDY GUIDE SOLVED RESPONSES
PASSED A+
◉ What is physics concerned with?. Answer: Interactions of energy,
matter, space, and time.
◉ Model. Answer: Representation of something that is often too difficult
to display directly. Only accurate under limited situations.
◉ Theory. Answer: Explanation for patterns in nature that is supported
by scientific evidence and verifies multiple times by various groups of
researchers.
◉ Law. Answer: Uses concise language to describe a generalized pattern
in nature that is supported by scientific evidence and repeated
experiments.
◉ The scientific Method. Answer:
◉ Classical Physics. Answer: Physics developed from the renaissance to
the end of the 19th century.
◉ Modern physics. Answer: 20th century +
, ◉ Modern physics conquests of 2 revolutionary theories:. Answer:
Relativity & Quantum Mechanics (relavistic quantum mechanics)
◉ Relativity. Answer: The study of objects moving at speeds greater
than 1% of the speed of light. or of objects being affected by a strong
gravitational field.
◉ Quantum Mechanics. Answer: The study of objects smaller than can
been seen with a microscope.
◉ A friend tells you he has learned about a new law of nature. What can
you know about the information even before your friend describes the
law? How would the information be different if your friend told you he
had learned about a scientific theory rather than a law?. Answer:
◉ All physical quantities can be expressed as combinations of only 4
fundamental physical quantities:. Answer: Length, mass, time, and
electrical current.
◉ physical quantity - defined by either... Answer: specifying how it is
measured or by stating how it is calculated.
◉ measurements of physical qualities are expressed in terms of _____ -.
Answer: units. - standardized values
