Tendency to view everything in relationship to oneself. - -Egocentrism Assumption that one own's social group is superior to all others. - -Sociocentrism Thinking that is spontaneous and non-reflective thinking. Contains insight, prejudice, good and bad reasoning. Indiscriminately combined. - -First-order thinking First-order thinking that is consciously realized (analyzed, reassessed, reconstructed). - -Secondorder thinking Ignore flaws in own thinking. Often tries to win arguments throug...

Energy stored in stretched springs, rubber bands, etc. - elastic potential energy Energy carried by electromagnetic waves. Light energy. - electromagnetic energy Energy from the motion of atoms and molecules. Depends on mass and temperature - thermal energy Term for the fact that energy cannot be created/destroyed, only transferred/converted - Law of conservation of energy A repetitive motion that occurs around a center point or equilibrium - oscillation A position or state to which an os...

Which of the following derived units do NOT measure speed? mm/min2 cm/day m/s km/hr Question 2 of 10 A non-zero net force is necessary to Question 3 of 10 Which of the following force statements is FALSE? A force is a push or a pull. A force can cause a change in motion. A force is not needed to cause acceleration. Acceleration is caused by a force. A force is always needed to cause an object to accelerate. Question 4 of 10 A car’s engine provides a force of 200 N forward, while...

The combination of all forces acting on an object net force 44. forces acting on an object that combine and form a net force of zero bal- anced forces 45. Forces that produce a nonzero net force, which changes an object's motion unbalanced forces 46. (An object continues in uniform motion in a straight line/ at rest unless a resultant force acts.) The net force on an object is the cause of its acceleration Newton's First Law 47. The tendency to keep the same motion- remaining at rest ...

A chemist places 250 grams of liquid water into a beaker. The volume of the liquid water is 250 milliliters. The chemist then freezes the water. After it is frozen, the ice has a volume of 273 milliliters. What is the mass of the ice250 grams 39. When baking soda is added to vinegar, a chemical reaction occurs. The reaction produces carbon dioxide gas, and a liquid solution consisting mostly of water and a salt called sodium acetate. How is mass affected in this reaction, according to the...
