100

This type of energy transformation occurs when an electric kettle heats water.

electrical energy transforming into thermal energy

100

If an object moves at constant velocity, the forces acting on it are described as this.

balanced

100

Sound can’t be heard in a vacuum because sound waves need this.

medium

100

When turns of wire are removed from an electromagnet, this happens to its strength.

decreases

100

This is a pure substance because it has two different elements bonded.

compound

200

This type of energy is stored in an apple hanging from a tree.

potential energy

200

A student running 140 meters and pausing at 110 meters for 1 minute shows this type of motion.

stopped
200

A wave transfers this, but not matter.

energy

200

The order of light speed in different states of matter from fastest to slowest.

gas, liquid, solid

200

When water is heated, molecules gain this type of energy and move faster.

kinetic energy

300

When a ball is thrown straight up, its kinetic energy does this as it rises.

changes into potential energy

300

A rocket traveling at 30,000 m/s without accelerating experiences this type of force.

balanced force

300

When the wavelength of an EM wave decreases, both frequency and energy do this.

increase

300

This wave behavior explains why you can hear a radio through a cracked door.

diffraction

300

A student tests materials to see if they catch fire. This property is being tested.

combustibility

400

This type of heat transfer occurs when one end of a spoon in soup gets hot.

conduction

400

This causes a change in speed or direction.

unbalanced force

400

When sunlight hits tinted windows, it does these two things.

absorb and refract

400

This is true about positive and negative charges

they attract

400
This is a balanced chemical equation.

Zn + HCl -> ZnCl2 + H2

false

500

This causes thermal energy to move in a fluid due to density changes.

convection

500

Two unequal forces on a block on a frictionless surface cause the block to move to the right.

More force to the right

500

Gamma rays have the most energy because they have this kind of wavelength.

short wavelength

500

These are the charges of subatomic particles: proton, neutron, and electron.

proton = +

neutron = neutral

electron = –
