PHSC Exam 1
9.8 m/s^2 - correct answer-How fast do objects in free fall accelerate towards the Earth
Aristotle - correct answer-preferred logic over experiment which led to several erroneous
conclusions such as the earth is the center of the universe, heavy objects fall faster then
smaller ones, and the a force is required to keep an object moving
astronomy - correct answer-what science is the study of planets, starts, and other things in
the universe external to the earth
chemistry - correct answer-what science is the study of how atoms combine to form
molecules, and how molecules combine to form larger molecules
concept - correct answer-a meaningful idea used to describe phenomena
Copernicus - correct answer-created controversy when he published his book that the Earth
moved in orbit around the sun
d = vt - correct answer-what is the equation to find the distance an object has traveled
dynamics - correct answer-how motion is produced, stopped or changed
fact - correct answer-a close agreement by competent observers who make a series of
observations about the same phenomenon
Galileo - correct answer-believed that the experiment was more superior to logic and
uncovered the truth to erroneous conclusions that were previously believed
geology, meteorology, and oceanography - correct answer-What are the 3 Earth Sciences
greater - correct answer-the larger an object the ________ the inertia
Inertia - correct answer-And objects resistance to motion or change
inertia - correct answer-the tendency for an object to keep moving
kinematics - correct answer-describes motion
law/principle - correct answer-when a hypothesis has been repeatedly tested and not
contradicted it is called
mass - correct answer-the quantity of matter something contains, it is also the measure of
inertia
mathematics - correct answer-what makes science unambiguous
