Science Physics Core science questions and answers- Topic 1- The solar system- 1. What is a geocentric model? It is a model with the earth at the centre. 2. Describe two differences between ptolemy’s and Copernicus’s models- What is at the centre of the model and the way in which the planets followed smaller circles in their orbits in ptolemy’s model.
(1) The orbit of each planet is an ellipse with the Sun at one focus. (2) As a planet moves around its orbit, it sweeps out equal areas in equal times. (3) More distant planets orbit the Sun at slower average speeds, obeying the mathematical relationship p2 = a3. h. How does the Earth rotate and how does that relate to day and night or the seasons? The Earth rotates on its axis and orbits the Sun.
------------------------------------------------- Straw Rocket lab report Charlene Walker Class 803 [Date] [Company name] [Company address] [Date] [Company name] [Company address] Problem – How will the size of the wings affect the distance the rocket travels ? Hypothesis – The rocket with the smallest wings will go the furthest Materials – 1- Drinking straw 2- Printing paper 3- Clay 4- Scissors 5- Tape 6- Measuring tape Backround information – According to newtons 2nd law of motion it states exact The relationship between an object's mass m, its acceleration a, and the applied force F is F = ma. Acceleration and force are vectors (as indicated by their symbols being displayed in slant bold font); in this law the direction of the force vector is the same as the direction of the acceleration vector. Procedure – 1- After building the rockets my team adjusted the launcher to the trajectory angle of 45 degrees 2- We took turns as we raised the launch rod to the 5th calibration line 3- To launch, we released the launch rod so that it falls to the bottom of the cylinder. 4- We measured the rockets range using a measuring tape.
The most logical answer is A. When the earth was just starting to form a big astoride hit earth and a large amount of material flew off to form the moon. 3. Sunlight is created from_______ a. Sun light Bulbs b. Thomas Edison c. Yo Moma d. Energy from Nuclear Fusion i. D. Sunlight is the energy that is released when a nuclear reaction causes hydrogen to form in to helium 4.
The cycle of day and night is caused by… a. Earth’s orbit b. the Sun’s rotation c. Earth’s rotation d. the movement of the moon 12. Earth’s trip around the Sun takes… a. one day b. one year c. one month d. 24 hours 13. What causes the Earth’s seasons? a. Earth’s tilted axis as it revolves around the Sun b. the Sun’s position in the sky c. Earth moving closer and then farther away from the Sun d. the Sun’s motion 14. What is the name of the phase of the Moon when it is between the Sun and the Moon?
