The energy that is stored inside an object
Potential Energy
The material or matter that waves travel through (e.g. solid, liquid, gas)
medium
small, negatively charged particles that orbit around the outside of a nucleus
electrons
100 degrees Celsius, converted to Kelvin
373 degree Kelvin
a space that does not have matter
vacuum
a sloping surface that makes it easier to move an object to a higher or lower place
inclined plane
The high points of a transverse wave
crest
the force (or push) that cause charge to move
a wave has a wavelength of 8 meters and a frequency of 10 Hz. What is the wave speed?
80 m/s
What are the units for kinetic energy?
Joules (J)
A reaction that releases nuclear energy by combining two nuclei together
A type of wave that does NOT require a medium to travel through
electromagnetic wave
A generator converts what type of energy into what type of energy (state two types)
mechanical energy to electrical energy
A worker pushes a wooden box with a force of 500 N a distance of 2 feet. How much work was done?
1000 J
How would you measure wavelength on a longitudinal wave?
compression to compression (or rarefaction to rarefaction)
Energy stored in moving objects; this is the sum total of kinetic and potential energy
The wave with the highest energy and shortest wavelength on the electromagnetic spectrum
transfer of electrons through electric fields; working over a distance
induction
What is the current of a circuit with a 10 ohm resistor and 20 V battery?
2 amps
burning your tongue on a hot cup of coffee is an example of what form of heat transfer?
conduction
the transfer of thermal energy when particles of a liquid or gas move from one place to another (e.g. boiling)
convection
Sound travels the fastest in this state of matter
solid
4 factors that affect resistance
-Materials
-Size of Wire (diameter)
-Length of Wire
-Temperature of the Wire
Calculate the kinetic energy of a 10 kg biker, traveling at a velocity of 10 m/s
500 J
