100
This is the three physical laws that, together, laid the foundation for classical mechanics. They describe the relationship between a body and the forces acting upon it, and its motion in response to those forces.
What are Newton's laws of Motion?
100
The change of position divided by the time interval over which the change occurred.
What is average velocity?
100
The study of fluids at rest and in motion and the forces acting within the fluid and on any solid boundary the fluid contacts.
What is fluid mechanics?
100
The ability to do work or produce heat
What is energy?
200
States that a particle attracts every other particle in the universe using a force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses but also inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
What is Newton's Law of universal gravitation?
200
The change of velocity divided by the time interval over which the change occurred.
What is acceleration?
200
A fluid which has constant density.
What is Incompressible Fluid?
200
Quantity that must be given as well as magnitude (size) with a vector quantity.
What is Direction?
200
Kinetic energy transferred to a surface as heat
What is frictional heating?
300
Includes quantum field theory, is a fundamental branch of physics concerned with processes involving, for example, atoms and photons.
What is quantum physics?
300
The total distance divided by the total time.
What is average speed?
300
Density of a material divided by density of water.
What is Specific gravity?
300
Collision where kinetic energy is conserved.
What is Elastic collision?
300
Energy flows out of a system.
What is exothermic?
400
Usually encompasses two theories by Albert Einstein: special relativity and general relativity
What is Einstein's theory of Relativity?
400
The velocity when the clock reading is zero .
What is initial velocity?
400
A fluid which has variable density
What is Compressible Fluid?
400
Energy stored in a stretched or compressed spring.
What is Elastic potential energy?
400
Energy flows into a system.
What is endothermic?
500
States that for any system closed to all transfers of matter and energy, the mass of the system must remain constant over time, as system mass cannot change quantity if it is not added or removed.
What is Law of Conservation of Mass-Energy?
500
The constant acceleration that acts on falling bodies .
What is acceleration due to gravity?
500
Local Flow speed divided by speed of sound.
What is Mach Number?
500
When an object is at rest or moving uniformly (Newton's first law).
What is Equilibrium?
500
The energy needed to start a reaction
What is activation energy?
