Measures of Motion
This is the total distance between initial and final position. Can be in positive or negative direction.
What is Displacement?
An object's resistance to change in motion unless acted upon by a force is this law.
What is Newton's 1st Law?
A volleyball moving through the air is an example of this type of energy.
This is the total kinetic energy of the particles of a unit of matter.
What is Thermal Energy?
Waves carry ____________ but do not carry ____________.
What is energy, matter?
This is the rate of change of an object's position. Can be measured in positive or negative direction.
What is Velocity?
What is sliding friction?
An archer pulling back a bowstring before launching an arrow is an example of this type of energy.
What is (elastic) Potential Energy?
This is the amount of heat needed to raise one gram of a substance by one degree Celsius.
What is specific heat?
Sound waves travel through this because they must vibrate particles.
What is a Medium?
This is the rate of change of velocity.
What is Acceleration?
This law states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction, helping us understand why a bouncy ball bounces off of a wall or the ground.
What is Newton's 3rd Law?
This law states that energy is neither created nor destroyed in a closed system, only is transferred.
What is Law of Conservation of Energy?
This is the average kinetic energy of each individual particle of a unit of matter.
What is Temperature?
Waves that travel through a medium are called this.
What is Mechanical waves?
An object is displaced 14 meters traveling at 45 m/s. This is the time that the object travels for?
What is 0.31 seconds?
This is the tendency for an object in motion to stay in motion, and an object at rest to stay in rest.
What is Inertia?
This is the gravitational potential energy of a 9 kg vase sitting on a table 4 meters high.
What is 352.8 J?
What is Gas?
Light waves do not need matter in order to travel through space, therefore they can travel through this conversely to sound waves.
What is Vacuum?
A minivan is traveling down the highway at a speed of 31.2 m/s. It is challenged to a race by a mustang. To the mustang’s surprise the van wins the race speeding up to 44.7 m/s in just 5 seconds. This is the acceleration of the van?
2.7 m/s2
A 502 kg car is moving with an acceleration of 23 m/s2. If the car is to travel through a fog cloud, this is the force it would exert on it.
What is 11,546 N?
This is the kinetic energy of an 4.8 kg box moving at a velocity of 19 m/s.
What is 45.6 J?
These are the three ways in which heat can be transferred through matter.
What is Conduction, Convection, and Radiation?
Waves that travel through a vacuum and represent all visible and non-visible light are called this.
What is Electromagnetic Waves?
