Wave Characteristics
This is the top point of a transverse wave.
What is crest?
This is the unit for wave speed.
What is m/s?
What is kinetic energy?
This is the correct number and unit for gravity.
What is 9.8 m/s2?
This is the unit for energy.
What is Joules (J)?
This describes the particles that are spread apart within a longitudinal wave.
What is rarefaction?
This is the equation for frequency within a wave.
What is wave speed divided by wavelength (v/lambda)?
This is compressed energy that explains the reactions of a rubber band.
What is stored mechanical energy?
This is the equation for potential energy.
What is mass times gravity times height?
(m x g x h)
What is a transverse wave.
The particles vibrate parallel (back and forth) to the directions that the wave is moving in this type of wave.
What is a longitudinal wave?
This is the wave speed of a wave that has a wavelength of 4 m and a frequency of 16 Hz.
What is 64 m/s?
This type of energy holds together the nucleus of an atom.
This term/variable within the calculation is present in kinetic energy, but NOT in potential energy.
What is velocity?
This is the equation for kinetic energy.
What is KE = m x (v2)/2?
This is the horizontal measurement from one point on the wave to an identical point on a wave.
What is wavelength?
This is the wavelength of a wave that has frequency of 6 Hz and a wave speed of 21 m/s.
What is 3.5 m?
This energy is stored in bonds between atoms and molecules and occurs when burning an object or is present in a battery?
This is the potential energy for a rock that weighs 3 kg and is sitting at the top of a 120 m high cliff.
What is 3,528 J?
This is the equation for wave speed.
This is the vertical measurement from either the top or bottom part of a wave to the resting position.
What is amplitude?
This is the frequency of a wave with a wave speed of 38 cm/s and a wavelength of 4cm.
What is 9.5 Hz?
Give one law of thermodynamics (also known as conservation of energy).
*What is energy cannot be created or destroyed?
*What is energy is constant in the universe?
*What is energy can be transferred/changed into another energy?
This is the kinetic energy of a bicycle that has a mass of 50 kg and is moving with a velocity of 8 m/s.
What is 1,600 J?
This is the dotted line on a transverse wave that separates the crest and troughs.
What is the resting position (or resting point)?
