space between two objects, is a scalar quantity.
who investigated the movements of bodies and developed mathematical laws who, describing their movement, made a guess? 3 scientists
Early scientists such as Galileo Galilee (1564– 1642), Isaac Newton (1642–1727), and Johannes Kepler (1571–1630)
Adiabatic heating
The increase in temperature of compressed gas that involves no additional heat flowing into the gas. It is heating from the energy gained by compression
Atom
The smallest unit of an element that can exist alone or in combination with other elements
Hypothesis
A tentative explanation of a phenomenon that is compatible with the data and provides a framework for understanding and describing that phenomenon
difference between of speed and velocity
The quantity speed, which refers to the rate of change in position of an object, is a scalar quantity because no direction of travel is defined. The quantity ve
what is Kinematics
s a specific branch of mechanics that describes the motion of objects without reference to the forces causing the motion.
what is Mechanics
s the branch of physics that studies the motion of objects and the forces and energies that affect those motions.
Absolute scale
Temperature scale set so that zero is at the theoretical lowest temperature possible. This would occur when all random motion of molecules has ceased
Dispersion
The effect of spreading colors of light into a spectrum with a material that has an index of refraction that varies with wavelength
