Physics 1
A material through which waves can travel. It can be a solid, liquid, or gas.
What is a medium?
A measure of how many waves pass a point in a certain amount of time.
What is the Frequency?
The capacity for an item or object to do work, or produce heat
What is Energy?
State the Law of Conservation of Energy
What is Energy cannot be created nor destroyed, only transformed.
You need to find this in order to convert moles to grams.
What is Molar Mass?
The highest point in a wave
What is the Crest?
A measure of the distance between a line through the middle of a wave and a crest or trough.
What is Amplitude?
The energy that is associated with movement of particles
What is Kinetic Energy?
Enthalpy is the measure of this in a chemical reaction
What is the heat content of a system (delta H)
A measure of the distance a wave travels in an amount of time.
What is Velocity?
A measure of the distance from the crest on one wave to the crest on the very next wave.
What is Wavelength?
The internal energy of an object.
What is Thermal Energy?
The amount of heat a substance can hold (the amount of heat it takes to raise 1 gram of your substance 1 degree C
What is Specific Heat Capacity?
The location that all reflected waves cross in a concave mirror.
What is the Focal Point?
What is Reflection?
The difference between temperature and heat
What is heat describes an energy transfer, temperature measures the motion of the molecules/atoms
A 250 g copper pipe is heated from 10 degrees to 31 degrees. What is the energy needed to heat the pipe?
What is 2021.25 J?
An image in a mirror or lens is not on the side of the outgoing rays.
What is Virtual?
The bending of waves caused by a change in their speed as they pass from one medium to another
What is Refraction?
A thermometer measures this type of energy.
What is Kinetic Energy?
A 20kg concrete block changes temperature from 20oC to -25oC. If it takes 3.06x109 J to heat this block, find the specific heat of concrete.
3600 J/goC
