What is force?
A push or pull
Highest point of a wave
Crest
Feeling heat from a radiator
Radiation
A copper wire wrapped around a metal core that's attached to a battery
Electromagnet
Newton's second law
the acceleration of an object is directly related to the net force and inversely related to its mass
The speed of an object in a particular direction
Velocity
Lowest point of a wave
Trough
Holding a silver spoon in your hand and melting an ice cube on it.
Conduction
an electric charge that tends to stay on the surface of an object
Static electricity
Newton's third law
for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction
The unit force is measured in
Newton
length between the crest or trough
Wave length
what is heat?
The energy transfer between two substances of different temperatures
an electric charge that flows through an object
electrical current
A car slams on the brakes and the test dummy keeps going forward while the car is stopped, what is this?
Inertia, First law of motion
Change in velocity (m/s sq)
waves in which the vibration of the medium is parallel to the direction the wave travels and displacement of the medium is in the same (or opposite) direction of the wave
longitudinal wave
Explain why this statement is true. It is only possible to make something cold by taking away its thermal energy.
You can't add coldness to something because coldness is the absence of heat.
a property of the space around a charged object, where the effect of its charge can be felt by other objects
electrical field
A rocket goes up and the force from the thrusters pushes dirt away from the launch pad.
Newton's third law of motion
The force that opposes motion between two solid surfaces that are touching
friction
A wave in which all points on a wave oscillate along paths at right angles to the direction of the wave's advance
Transverse wave
