Indexed Science Notes

          Here is a list of all of the subjects I have taken notes on since the first day of school last fall.  I currently have over fifteen "booklets" composed of this information.  Let this offer stand into the distant future (and I may someday regret it):  if any of my current classmates or  any students of Mr. Harrelson in the future would like help or in depth information on any of these subject areas I would be happy to help:

Physical Science

Atoms

-Valency

-Dot diagram

-Electrons needed to be stable

-Atomic Number

-Chemical Symbol

-Neutrons

-Protons

-Electrons

-Ions

-6 types of Quarks

¤Up, Down, Top, Bottom, Charm, Strange

-Chart of relative sizes (see parts of the atom)

-We can only see about 41% of the universe

Chemical Balancing

-Start with the smallest  chemical

¤Think: CHO

Forces

-Contact forces

-At a Distance Forces

-4 Forces of Nature

-Newton's 3 Forces

¤Inertia

- F=ma

¤Velocity

~ Change in Distance/Change in Time or Delta d over Delta t

¤Acceleration

~Change in Velocity/Change in Time or Delta v over Delta t

¤Measured in Neutons

-Speed=positive momentum/motion

¤ 3 ways to Accelerate:

~Change Direction

~ "Speed up" acceleration

~ "Slow down" = deceleration -acceleration (when you go around the corner of a track you accelerate)

~1 Horsepower= 764w

¤1969=Gatorade invented-->Clemson switches to white jerseys for home games (1968 or '69) [this is because they discover that the white shirts reflect more of the sun's heat]

Waves= particle or duality of matter and energy

-Electromagnetic

-Mechanical

¤Transverse Wave

¤Longitudinal Waves/Compressional 

-Parts of the Wave

-Newton vs. Hook

¤Newton believed light was particles, Hook believed it was waves

~Light is composed of particles AND waves

¤Slit Light Experiment

-Resonance= When the amplitude of a wave increases because another frequency or wave has 

¤Think: Harmony

- 3 Ways waves interact

¤ Reflection

¤Refraction

¤Derefraction

- 4 Properties of Waves

-High and Low wavelengths

Light

-Light can not travel without medium

¤Light is electro magnetic energy

-Intensity=how much energy or brightness (a.k.a. amplitude)

-Frequency= color- perceived by humans as the color of light (a.k.a. wavelength)

-Polarization= angle of vibration (angle of the light hits you) which is not perceptible by humans under ordinary circumstances

Sound

-Travels with a medium

¤Sound is mechanical energy

Neptune/Uranus

-Messed up magnetic fields

-May have diamond seas

¤ Could have diamond icebergs

¤ May have "water" cycles like that of Earth

-Air pressure=11 million times earth

¤ 10% Carbon make-up

¤ 50 thousand degrees Centigrade

Black Holes

-Schwarzschild radius

- 3 dementions

-Primordial Objects

-Big Bang, Big Crunch, Big Chill

-Drake's Equation

Quotes:

-"All of our science against rarity is primitive and childlike and yet it is the most precious thing we have."

-"There is nothing new to do in Physics now, all that remains is more precise measurement…"

Laws/Properties
