Motion/Miscellaneous
The distance an object travels per unit of time.
what is speed
a push or pull
What is force
the force applied through a distance
what is work
the accumulation of excess electric charge on an object
what is static electricity
The top of a transverse wave
what is a crest
the rate of change of velocity
What is acceleration
the force that opposes the sliding motion of two surfaces that are touching each other
what is friction
the ratio of the output force to input force
what is mechanical advantage
the attractive or repulsive force between eclectic charges and magnets
what is electromagnetic force
a repeating disturbance that transfers energy through matter or space
what is a wave
formed from the remains of ancient plants and animals buried and altered many years ago.
what are fossil fuels
the attractive force between any two objects that depends on the masses of the objects and the distance between them
What is Gravity
The ability to cause change to its surroundings
what is energy
a material through which electrons move easily
what is a conductor
Part of a longitudinal wave that matter is futher apart.
what is rarefaction
what is a decibel
The law of motion that states that an object in motion stays in motion. An object at rest will stay at rest.
What is inertia (Newton's first law of motion)
energy due to motion
what is kinetic energy
charge can be transferred from object to object, but cannot be created or destroyed
what is law of conservation of charge
the measurement between the equilibrium line and the crest or trough of a wave.
what is amplitude
the product of an object's mass and velocity.
p=mv
what is momentum
Law of motion that states that every action has an equal and opposite reation.
what is Newton's 3rd Law of motion.
rate and which energy is converted. Measured in watts
what is power
a device that uses an electromagnetic to measure electric current
what is a galvanometer
the bending of a wave around an object
what is diffraction
