Q: The 3 states of matter are…

A: Solid, Liquid, Gas

Q: A change in the state of matter is caused by…

A: A change in temperature. (Adding or removing heat.)

Q: When a force moves an object.

A: Work

Q: The unit of measurement for work.

It measures heat, electricity and mechanical work.

A: Joule

Joule’s Apparatus

Q: Newton’s First Law of Motion

A: InertiaAn object at rest will stay at rest; an object in motion will stay in motion unless acted on by

an outside force.

Q: Newton’s Second Law of Motion

A: Force = Mass X Acceleration

Q: The unit of measurement for force

A: Newton
