General Physics
This is a quantity that has both magnitude and direction.
What is a vector?
This mathematician discovered that the buoyant force on an object equals the weight of the fluid displaced by the object.
Who was Archimedes?
This quantity is equal to Work/Time.
What is power?
When your muscles move, chemical energy from the cereal you ate for breakfast is converted into this.
What is kinetic energy?
212 Fahrenheit Converted to Celsius
100 Celsius
the smallest particle of an element; the building block of chemistry
What is an Atom?
What force allows a balloon to float?
What is Buoyant Force (Buoyancy)?
Photovoltaic cells convert this into electrical energy.
What is solar energy?
This is the transfer of thermal energy with no overall transfer of matter.
What is conduction?
This force is associated with charged particles.
What is electromagnetic force?
This upward force keeps an aircraft aloft.
What is lift?
Antennas use these to send signals to television receivers.
What are radio waves?
What is a generator?
This is the universal force that causes every object to attract every other object.
What is gravity?
This is the SI unit for Velocity
What is meters/second (m/s)
This is the lowest point of a wave below the rest position.
What is the trough?
Atomic fission and fusion produce this type of energy.
What is nuclear energy?
This force opposes the motion of objects that touch as they move past each other.
What is friction?
This is the SI unit for pressure
What is a Pascal (Pa)?
When a beam of light enters a new medium at an angle, it changes direction, and this occurs.
What is refraction?
This is the SI unit of work.
What is the joule?
