Forces
The scientist that defined force as the product of an object's mass and acceleration.
Who is Isaac Newton?
The theory that the speed an object moves through space affects how it experiences time and distance compared to a stationary observer.
What is special relativity?
The ability to do work.
What is energy?
A particle made up of two quarks
What is a Meson?
A particle made up of protons, neutrons and electrons.
What is an atom?
A force that attracts objects due to their respective masses.
What is gravity?
The formula that defines why an object cannot move faster than the speed of light.
What is E=mc2?
A property that describes the magnitude and direction of the space between two locations.
What is displacement?
The particle model that unifies the fundamental forces
What is The Standard Model?
The process of an atom releasing particles and energy due to instability.
What is radioactive decay?
The characteristic that describes the change in momentum of an object.
What is impulse?
The theory that an object that is moving relative to an observer can be measured to have different lengths, depending on the position and movement of the observer taking the measurement.
What is length contraction?
An elliptical trajectory of an object around a center-point.
What is an orbit?
A particle with equal mass but opposite charge.
What is an antiparticle?
The average time it takes for half of a substance to decay.
What is half-life?
What is a pulley?
A location in space and time where all the laws of physics apply due to all objects remaining stationary.
What is an inertial reference frame?
The property of motion that changes an object's direction toward the center of an arc and is always perpendicular to the current velocity vector.
What is centripetal acceleration?
A diagram that shows how particles move through space and time.
What is a Feynman diagram?
The process that stars undergo to generate energy through nuclear reactions.
What is nuclear fusion?
A property that has a value of 6.67 x 10^-11.
What is the gravitational constant?
The dilemma that describes how two people moving at different speeds through space can age differently. Both people are young from their own perspective, and the other person is old from their perspective.
What is the twins paradox?
A situation where two objects impact each other and energy is conserved, while momentum is not conserved.
What is an inelastic collision?
A massless particle that transmits a force between subatomic particles.
What is a gauge boson?
One of two or more species of atoms that have the same atomic number but different atomic masses.
What is an isotope?
