Waves
In what type of wave does the coils move perpendicular to the direction the wave travels?
A Transverse Wave.
What is Mass?
Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object.
What is a liquid?
Liquid is the state of matter that has a fixed volume, but can change shape.
What is Electromagnetic energy?
Electromagnetic energy is the kinetic energy of electromagnetic waves, which include visible light, x-rays, and microwaves.
what is the formula for Kinetic energy?
KE = ½ mv2
In what wave does the coils move parallel to the direction the wave travels?
A Longitudinal Wave
What is Matter?
Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space.
What is a solid?
Solid is the state of matter in which the volume and shape of a substance are fixed.
What is Thermal energy?
Thermal energy is the total kinetic energy of all the particles that make up an object
What is the formula for potential energy.
gPE = mgh
Whats is Amplitude?
Amplitude is half the difference between the crest and the trough.
What is Weight?
Weight is a measure of the gravitational force on an object.
What is Gas?
Gas is the state of matter that can change both shape and volume.
What is Sound energy?
Sound energy is kinetic energy caused by the vibration of particles in a medium, such as steel, water, or air.
Can energy be created or destroyed?
Energy cannot be created or destroyed but it is transferred between objects and it can be transformed into different types and forms of energy
What is Wavelength?
Wavelength measures the length of one cycle, or repetition, of a wave.
What is Volume?
Volume is a measure of the amount of space an object takes up.
How Is KE increased?
Kinetic energy increased if an object speed increases.
What is Electrical energy.
Electrical energy is the kinetic energy of moving electric charges.
What does GPE stand for?
gPE = gravitational potential energy.
How can you calculate wave speed?
You multiply Wavelength and frequency.
How do you find Volume?
Volume = length x width x height
V = l x w x h
What is Thermal energy?
Thermal energy is the energy contained within a system that is responsible for its temperature.
what is Elastic Energy.
Elastic energy is the potential mechanical energy stored in an object when work is performed to change its shape.
How does mass and speed affect kinetic energy?
as mass increases, kinetic energy increases proportionally, and as speed increases, kinetic energy increases more significantly.
