EXTRA CREDIT FOR QUARTER 4: Make a video (up to four people maximum in a group) that connects a real-life experience/topic to the concepts you have learned in Physics. You must EMAIL Mrs. Allen FIRST to get your concepts approved. For example, you can make a video about skateboarding and the physics that is involved. This video will be worth 10 extra credit points given to you ON YOUR FINAL EXAM!!!!!!!! Once you email me, I will email you the criteria.

You will have your physics final towards the end of May. It will cover EVERYTHING that you have learned during PHYSICS!

YOU NEED:
1. Bring a calculator to class everyday
2. Bring your new folder to class tomorrow

STUDY GUIDE FOR FINAL!

FOR ALL KEY TERMS YOU MUST KNOW THE DEFINITION AND AN EXAMPLE. EMAIL ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS!!!!!!!

CHAPTER 1 SECTION 1
     KEY TERMS: Motion, Reference Point, International System of Units, Meter, Speed, Velocity,
                       Average Speed, Constant Speed, Instantaneous Speed, Rate, Slope

     FORMULAS: Remember the triangle.
     Speed = Distance/Time                         Distance = Speed X Time                     
     Time = Distance / Speed

     Average Speed = Total Distance/Total Time

CHAPTER 1 SECTION 2
     Key Terms: Pangaea, plate, plate tectonics, boundary, Convergent boundary,
                       Divergent boundary, Transform boundary, Geologist

     Formulas: None

CHAPTER 1 SECTION 3
     Key Terms: acceleration

     Formulas: Acceleration = (Final Velocity - Initial Velocity) / Time
     Vf = final Velocity
     Vi = initial Velocity


CHAPTER 2 SECTION 1
     Key Terms:  Force, Net Force, Unbalanced Forces, Balanced Forces, Newtons, Contact Forces,
                       "Action at a Distance Forces", Applied Force, Gravity Force, Normal Force,
                       Friction Force, Air Resistance Force, Tension Force, Spring Force, Strong Forces, Vectors, Magnitude,

     Formulas:  NONE

Ch 2 SECTION 2
     Key Terms:  Friction, Static Friction, sliding friction, rolling friction, fluid friction, gravity, mass, weight, free fall,
                       air resistance, terminal velocity, projectile

     Formula: Weight = Mass X acceleration Due to Gravity
     Acceleration Due to Gravity = 9.8 m/s2


CHAPTER 2 SECTION 3
     Key Terms:  Newton, Newtons Second Law, Force, Newton's First Law, Inertia
                       how does mass and acceleration change the force, mass,

     Formulas: Force = mass X Acceleration     (think of the triangle)
                    Acceleration = Force / Mass

CHAPTER 2 SECTION 4
      Key Terms: momentum, law of conservation of momentum, Newton's Third Law of Motion
      http://quizlet.com/5286433/science-physics-flashcards-flash-cards/
      Formulas: Momentum = Mass X Velocity
                                   p = m X V

CHAPTER 2 SECTION 5
      Key Terms:  satellite, centripetal force, satellite motion    

CHAPTER 4 SECTION 1
      Key Terms: work, Joule, Power
     
     Formulas:
      Work = Force X Distance
      Power = Work/Time
      Power = Force X Distance / Time

      Work is measured in Joules  
      Power is measured in Watts
      1 J/s = 1 W


CHAPTER 5 SECTION 1
      Key Terms: Joule, Energy, kinetic energy, potential energy, elastic potential energy,
                        gravitational potential energy, erg

      Formulas: Kinetic Energy = 1/2 X Mass X (Velocity)^2
                     Gravitational Potential Energy = Weight(of object) X Height
                     Gravitational Potential Energy = Mass  X Acceleration due to gravity X Height
                     Unit for energy = J


You will need to know your CONVERSIONS!!!!!
