Waves
Highest point of a wave
What is crest?
An object in motion stays in motion, and an object at rest stays at rest, unless a net force acts on it
What is Newton's First Law?
The total energy an object possesses due to its motion (kinetic energy) and its position (potential energy)
What is Mechanical Energy?
Heat transfer through direct contact
What is conduction?
A rigid bar that pivots around a fixed point. (like a seesaw)
What is Lever?
Lowest point of a wave
What is Trough?
The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass.
What is Newton's Second Law?
A form of energy released from the nucleus, the core of atoms, made up of protons and neutrons
What is Nuclear Energy?
Heat transfer through movement of fluids
What is convection?
A wheel on an axle or shaft that has a groove for a rope or cable. This is used to lift heavy objects.
What is Pulley?
The distance between two identical points on a wave
What is wavelength?
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
What is Newton's Third Law?
A form of radiant energy that travels as waves through oscillating electric and magnetic fields
What is Electromagnetic energy?
What is Radiation?
A wheel attached to a smaller rod (axle) that rotates with it.
What is Wheel and Axle?
The maximum displacement or distance a wave moves from its rest position.
What is Amplitude?
Which law is known as the "Law of Inertia"
What is Newton's First law?
The stored energy an object possesses due to its position
What is Potential Energy?
The total Kinetic energy of all the atoms and molecules within a substance.
What is Thermal Energy?
A flat slanted surface that reduces the force needed to move an object to a higher elevation.
What is Inclined Plane?
Number of complete cycles or waves that pass a fixed point in a given unit of time (normally a second)
What is Frequency?
Which law uses the Formula F=ma
What is Newton's Second Law?
The energy an object possesses due to its motion
What is Kinetic energy?
A Measure of all of the average kinetic energy of its particles
What is Temperature?
A triangular-shaped tool that can be used to separate two objects or to hold one in place.
What is Wedge?
