Zap
This instrument is operated by manipulating electric fields without direct contact.
What is a theremin?
This is the unit used to measure magnetism
What is a tesla?
This is the attractive force exerted by large objects on smaller objects
What is gravity/gravitation?
This is a celestial object formed from a collapsing supergiant star
What is a neutron star?
This is the name of Mr. Mathison's dog
What is Maverick? 5x Bonus
This is the branch of electricity that deals with stationary charges or fields
What is electrostatics?
This is an object that generates a magnetic field
What is a magnet?
This is the term for the curved path an object takes around another larger object
What is an orbit?
This is the continuous flow of charged particles from the sun
What is solar wind?
This red protein transports oxygen throughout the body and accounts for 95% of the iron in the body
What is hemoglobin?
This is the release of electric charge through a medium such as air
What is a discharge?
This is an imaging technique that uses radio waves and a powerful magnetic field
What is an MRI?
What is a satellite?
This natural light show occurs in extreme latitudes when charged particles pass by the Earth.
What is an aurora?
This is the ability to read, hear, and comprehend information about scientific topics and demonstrate understanding in discussion and through writing
What is science literacy?
This is a region surrounding charged particles, which exert attractive or repulsive force on other charged particles in the field
What is an electric field?
This device generates a magnetic field when connected to an electric current
What is an electromagnet?
This type of orbit ensures that a satellite will always remain over a specific region of the Earth
This is a type of neutron star that produces an extremely strong magnetic field
What is a magnetar?
This is the condition of having poles, regions of positive or negative charge, which can attract or repel other charges
What is polarity?
This is the phenomenon of two surfaces becoming oppositely charged when in contact.
What is the triboelectric effect?
This is the name of the force exerted by a magnetic field on an electric charge moving through it
What is the Lorentz force?
This is the weak gravity present in spacecrafts
What is microgravity?
This scenario occurs when an orbiting body's rotations and revolutions are equal: meaning the same side of the object always faces the larger object, while the opposite side always faces away.
What is tidal locking?
This is a term for any force that can act on an object without touching it.
What is a noncontact force?
