Spring Scale
Friction of the surface
Friction is a force that opposes the motion of an object.
Friction is affected by the amount of force pushing two surfaces
together and the type of surface.
6. Static, Sliding, Fluid, Rolling
7. Rolling Friction
8. Lubricants get between two surfaces
9. opposite
10. static.
11. sliding
12. fluid
13. Surfaces and how hard
14. lubricant
15. friction
16. Which law is which:
a) Law 3
b) Law 1
c) Law 2
17. Pairs
18. Inertia
19. Earth is Axis is tilted (by 23.5) and this causes the seasons.
20. The sun is the source of Energy and Warmth on Earth.
21. WInTER
22. Tides … Gravity
23. a. NEAP
b. SPRING
c. SPRING
24. Wave – because they are cause by WIND energy
25. Tsunami – because it is cause by an underwater occurrence like an
earthquake
26. Rhythm
27. A biological clock is an internal TIMER that keeps organisms in step
with ENVIRONMENT.
28. Organisms active during the day are called DIURNAL, whereas
organisms active during the night are called NOCTURNAL.
29. Any rhythm controlled by the moon is a LUNAR rhythm, for example
TIDAL rhythms.
30. examples of annual rhythms are MIGRATION, HIBERNATION, and
ESTIVATION.
31. Red = Tropical; Orange = Temperate; Blue: Polar
