The ability to cause change
Energy
Force that resists the sliding of 2 surfaces that are touching
Friction
Material in which a wave travels
Medium
Lowest points on a transverse wave
Troughs
Regions of a longitudinal wave where the particles are farthest away
Rarefractions
Remains of ancient organisms that can be burned as an energy source
Fossil Fuels
Energy due to motion
Kinetic Energy
material in which a wave travels
Medium
Wave that can travel through empty space and through matter
Electromagnetic Waves
Wave is the distance from one point on a wave to the same point on the next wave
Wave length
When one object exerts a force on a second object exerts an equal force in the opposite direction on the first object
Newton's Third Law of Motion
Force that acts perpendicular to the direction of motion toward the center of the curve
Centripetal Force
Wave in which the disturbances perpendicular to the direction the the wave travels
Transverse Wave
Transfer of energy by a wave to the medium through which it travels
Absorption
Wave is the number of wavelengths that pass by a point each second
Frequency
An energy resource that is available in limited amounts or that is used faster than it it replaced in nature
Nonrenewable energy Resource
Disturbance that transfers energy from one place to another without transferring matter
Wave
Wave is the maximum distance that the wave moves from its rest position
Amplitude
Makes the particles in a medium move parallel to the direction that the wave travels
Longitudinal wave
Energy due to motion
Kinetic Energy
Any motion in which an object is moving along a curved path
Circular Moion
Wave that can travel only through matter
Mechanical Wave
Highest points on a transverse wave
Crests
Regions of a longitudinal wave where the particles in the medium are closest together
Compressions
Ability to cause change
