Newton's Laws
The force resulting from surfaces rubbing against each other
What is Friction?
Objects that attract or repel certain metals
What is a Magnet?
The distance from one wave crests to another
What is Wavelength?
A plane at an angle
What is an Inclined Plane?
The rate at which an object moves
What is Speed?
An object will stay in motion with a constant velocity (or will stay at rest) until it is acted upon by an outside force
What is Newton's 1st Law?
The motion of electrons from one place to another
What is Electricity?
The low points of a wave
What are Troughs?
A large circular wheel attached to a small cylinder
What is a Wheel and Axle?
The speed of an object in a given direction
What is Velocity?
“Resistance to change”
What is Inertia?
A closed path through which electric current flow
What is an electric circuit?
The height from the center line
What is Amplitude?
A rigid bar rotates about a fixed point called the fulcrum
What is a Lever?
The increase in an object’s velocity
What is Acceleration?
A push or pull exerted on an object in an effort to change the object’s velocity
What is a force?
The weakest of the natural forces
What is Gravitational Force?
The measure of how many waves reached a point over a period of time
What is Frequency?
A grooved wheel that rotates freely on a frame. It is operated by laying a rope through the groove. When one end is pulled, the wheel spins and the other end of the rope moves
What is a Pulley?
The study of motion
What is Mechanics?
The reason balls bounce and rockets fly
What is Newton's 3rd Law of Motion?
Tiny magnets that make up all magnets
What are domains?
A wave and a particle
What is Light?
An inclined plane and a wheel and axle are combined to make this simple machine
What is a Screw?
The point where you measure motion from
