Simple Machines
The simple machine family of a screw
What is inclined plane?
The material convection moves through
What is a fluid?
The equation for force
What is mass X acceleration
The unit for energy
What are joules
A 3 kg object accelerates at 8 m/s/s. This is the force
What is 24 N?
The thing that waves transfer
What is energy?
The force benefit from using a machine
What is mechanical advantage?
The method of transfer needing direct contact
What is conduction?
The units for speed in physics (ex. miles/hour)
What is meters/second?
Energy that is stored
What is potential energy?
A material with a specific heat of 2.5 j/(g x C) with a mass of 13 g is heated up 14 degrees. This is the energy added
What is 445 J?
The unit for power
What is a watt?
The distance between a peak and peak OR a trough and trough
What is wavelength
The two classes of simple machines
What are lever and inclined plane
The three methods for transferring heat
What are conduction, convection, and radiation
Speed with direction
What is velocity?
Energy in motion
What is kinetic energy?
The two types of waves
What are transverse and longitudinal
The purpose of a lever-class machine
What is magnify force?
What happens to an object's volume as it heats up
What is goes up?
The type of motion that gravity looks at
What is acceleration?
The energy stored in the nucleus of an atom
What is nuclear potential energy?
The GPE of a 13 kg object held 4 M above earth
What is 509.6 J?
The wave that goes up and down
What is a transverse wave?
The purpose of an inclined plane-class machine
What is redirect force?
The way the sun's energy reaches earth
What is radiation?
An object's ability to resist a change in motion
What is inertia?
The energy lost in any transfer
What is entropy?
The mechanical advantage of a 15 M ramp going up 3 M
What is 5?
The thing a mechanical wave needs that an EM wave does not
What is a medium?
