Circuits
Definition of Electricity
the presence
and/or flow of electric
charges
Definition of a Wave
a disturbance that
carries energy from one
location to another location.
What is weight
is a measure of gravitational force on
an object (changes with location).
What does energy mean
means the ability to do work.
All matter is made up of what kind of particles
tiny particles
What does higher current mean
Faster Moving
Electric Charges (Electrons)
What is a medium in waves
is a substance or
material that carries the wave.
Definition of Mass
amount of
matter in an object
(does not change with
gravity).
What does potential energy do
stored
energy due to an object’s
position--energy ready to
go.
Increased temperature means what kind of kinetic energy
greater average
What does circuits control
controls the movement of
electric current by providing
paths for electrons to follow.
What direction does a transverse wave move
moves
in a direction perpendicular to the
direction that the wave moves.
All object fall with what force
same acceleration
Elastic potential energy definition
is the energy
stored in elastic materials as the result of
their stretching or compressing.
What are the three familiar states of matter
What happens when voltage increases
more electrical potential
energy is available to be changed into other forms
of energy.
What is a wave longitudinal wave
A wave that has
the motion of the medium parallel to
the direction of the wave.
An object is in free fall if?
only gravity
acts on it.
What happens when the faster a object moves?
the more kinetic energy it
has.
What is a solid
solid is matter with a
definite shape and definite
volume.
What is a electrical insulator
a material
in which charges cannot move
easily (their electrons cannot flow
freely).
Opaque objects, what do they block
They block light from travelling through them
A projectile has a single
force that acts upon it, what is it?
the
force of gravity.
What other forms of energy does Solar energy have
such as
heat and electricity.
Gas particles move freely in all directions,
except?
during occasional collisions.
