WAVES
What is a wave?
A wave is a disturbance that travels through a medium or space, transferring energy without transferring matter.
What are the components of a circuit
battery, wire, and light bulb,
What is States and Matter
The three states of matter we commonly encounter in everyday life are solid, liquid, and gas.
What is energy?
The ability to do work.
What is inertia?
Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion.
What is a longitudinal wave?
a type of wave where the particles of the medium vibrate parallel to the direction the wave travels
What is the purpose of a switch in a circuit
A switch allows you to open or close the circuit, either interrupting or allowing the flow of electricity.
What is a gas?
Particles are widely spaced apart and move randomly, allowing gases to fill their container completely. They have no definite shape or volume.
What is kinetic energy?
Kinetic energy is a property of a moving object or particle and depends not only on its motion but also on its mass.
What will an object at rest do?
An object at rest will stay at rest
What is a transverse wave
a wave where the movement of the medium is perpendicular.
What is the difference between a series and a parallel circuit?
In a series circuit, components are connected one after another in a single path. In a parallel circuit, components are connected in multiple paths.
What is a solid?
Particles are tightly packed and arranged in a regular pattern, giving solids a definite shape and volume.
What is potential energy?
stored energy that an object has due to its position, condition, or composition, and has the potential to be converted into other forms of energy, like kinetic energy
What is weight?
is a measure of gravitational force on
an object
What is amplitude?
Amplitude is the maximum displacement of a point on a wave from its undisturbed position.
What is electricity
the presence and/or flow of electric
charges
What is a liquid?
Particles are close together but can move freely, allowing liquids to take the shape of their container. They have a definite volume but no definite shape.
What is the difference between potential and kinetic energy?
potential energy is stored energy due to an object's position or configuration, while kinetic energy is the energy of motion.
What is mass?
amount of matter in an object
What is a mechanical wave.
A mechanical wave is a disturbance that travels through a material medium, transferring energy from one place to another.
What is an electrical circuit
An electrical circuit is a closed path that allows electricity to flow. It consists of a power source, conductors, and a load.
How are they different?
The key differences between these states of matter lie in the arrangement and movement of their particles.
What is a nonrenewable energy source?
A nonrenewable energy source is a finite natural resource that cannot be replaced by natural processes quickly enough to keep up with consumption
What is acceleration?
rate at which velocity changes or
the rate in which you speed up, slow down, or
change directions.
