100
Any distrubance that transmits energy through matter or empty space.
What is a wave?
100
The measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in an object.
What is temperature?
100
The change of position of an object relative to a reference point.
What is motion?
100
The law that states that an object in motion will stay in motion or an object at rest will stay at rest, unless acted on by an outside force.
What is Newton's First Law of Motion?
100
The Earth is divided into the crust, _____, and core.
What is mantle?
200
A repetitive back-and-forth motion of an object.
What is a vibration?
200
An increase in the size of a substance in response to an increase in temperature of the substance.
What is thermal expansion?
200
The distance traveled divided by the time interval during which the motion occured.
What is speed?
200
The tendency of all objects to resist any change in motion.
What is inertia?
200
The layer of Earth's atmosphere where all of the weather occurs and gets colder at the altitude increases.
What is the troposphere?
300
The highest point of a wave.
What is a crest?
300
The total kinetic energy of the particles that make up a substance.
What is thermal energy?
300
The combination of all of the forces acting on an object.
What is net force?
300
The law that state that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
What is Newton's Third Law of Motion?
300
When gases such as water vapor, carbon dioxide, and methane trap heat near the surface of the Earth.
What is the greenhouse effect?
400
The bending of a wave as the wave passes at an angle from one medium to another.
What is refraction?
400
The transfer of thermal energy from one substance to another through direct contact.
What is thermal conduction?
400
The change in velocity over time. This could be a change in speed or direction.
What is acceleration?
400
force = mass x acceleration
What is Newton's Second Law of Motion?
400
The result of a sedimentary rock being exposed to heat and pressure.
What is a metamorphic rock?
500
The bending of waves around a barrier or through an opening.
What is diffraction?
500
The transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves through particles or empty space.
What is radiation?
500
The measure of the gravitational force on an object.
What is weight?
500
When two objects collide, the total amount of momentum remains constant.
What is the Law of Conservation of Momentum?
500
Organisms that release nitrogen into the atmosphere while breaking down dead organisms.
