Newton's Laws
The law that states an object at rest stays at rest unless acted upon by a force.
What is Newton's First Law?
Energy stored due to an object's position is this type of energy.
What is potential energy?
The force that keeps you grounded on Earth.
What is gravity?
The top point of a wave is known as this.
What is the crest?
This is the flow of electric charge.
What is electric current?
The law involving the equation F=ma
What is Newton's Second Law?
Energy possessed by moving objects is known as this.
What is kinetic energy?
This force opposes motion between two surfaces in contact.
What is friction?
This is the lowest point of a wave.
What is the trough?
This is the unit used to measure electrical resistance.
What is the ohm?
This law describes action and reaction forces.
What is Newton's Third Law?
This type of energy transformation occurs when you rub your hands together.
What is mechanical to thermal energy?
An example of non-contact force is this force between electric charges.
What is electromagnetic force?
This type of wave requires a medium to travel through.
What is a mechanical wave?
This is the device that converts chemical energy to electrical energy.
What is a battery?
The tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion is called this.
What is inertia?
The principle stating energy cannot be created or destroyed.
What is the Law of Conservation of Energy?
This force acts perpendicular to the surface an object is resting on.
What is the normal force?
This property of waves is the distance between two consecutive crests or troughs.
What is wavelength?
This device allows you to control the flow of electricity in a circuit, often by opening or closing it.
What is a switch?
Units for measuring force, Newtons, are equal to kg×m/s2kg×m/s2 . Name either the mass or distance unit used.
What is kilogram or meter?
The energy source harnessed by solar panels.
What is solar energy?
This type of friction occurs when an object moves through a fluid, including gases and liquids.
What is drag force or fluid resistance?
This effect causes the change in frequency of a wave in relation to an observer moving relative to the source.
What is the Doppler effect?
The opposition to current flow in an AC circuit is measured with this, analogous to resistance in DC.
What is impedance?
