Properties of Matter
This state of matter has a definite shape and volume.
What is a solid?
This is the force that pulls objects toward Earth.
What is gravity?
The energy of motion is called this type of energy.
What is kinetic energy?
The highest point of a wave is called this.
What is a crest?
Information that is sent from one place to another is called this.
What is a signal?
The amount of matter in an object is called this.
What is mass?
An object at rest will stay at rest unless acted upon by this.
What is an unbalanced force?
Energy stored in an object due to its position or condition is called this.
What is potential energy?
The distance from one wave crest to the next is called this.
What is wavelength?
This type of signal uses only two values, typically 0 and 1, to represent information.
What is a digital signal?
This property describes how much space an object takes up.
What is volume?
The tendency of an object to resist changes in its motion is called this.
What is inertia?
This law states that energy cannot be created nor destroyed, only transformed.
What is the Law of Conservation of Energy?
The number of waves that pass a point in one second is called this.
What is frequency?
This type of signal changes continuously and smoothly, like sound waves or radio waves.
What is an analog signal?
When a solid changes directly into a gas without becoming a liquid first, this process is called this.
What is sublimation?
Force equals mass times this quantity.
What is acceleration?
The energy stored in food and batteries is this type of energy.
What is chemical energy?
When waves bounce off a surface, this phenomenon occurs.
What is reflection?
A system of symbols or numbers used to represent information, like Morse or binary.
What is a code?
This law states that matter cannot be created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction.
What is the Law of Conservation of Mass?
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This is known as this law.
What is Newton's Third Law of Motion?
When you rub your hands together and they get warm, kinetic energy is being converted to this form of energy.
What is thermal energy?
When waves bend as they pass from one medium to another, this phenomenon occurs.
What is refraction?
The process of sending signals from one location to another through various media like wires, radio waves, or fiber optics.
What is transmission?
