Motion
A change in position.
What is displacement?
The flow of electrical charge, measured in amperes.
What is current?
The force acting on a free falling object.
What is the force of gravity?
What is kinetic energy?
A Polish and naturalized-French physicist and chemist who conducted pioneering research on radioactivity. She was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize, the first person and only woman to win the Nobel prize twice, and the only person to win the Nobel Prize in two different scientific fields.
Who is Marie Curie?
Speed with a direction.
What is velocity?
Electrical potential energy per unit charge, measured in volts.
What is voltage?
Objects will remain in their state of motion unless a force acts to change the motion.
What is inertia or Newton's First Law?
Energy an object possesses because of its position.
What is potential energy?
An English chemist whose work was central to the discovery of the structure of DNA.
Who is Rosalind Franklin?
A change in speed or direction.
What is acceleration?
Opposition to current flow, measured in ohms.
What is resistance?
The force that is necessary to keep an object moving in a curved path. It is directed inward toward the center of rotation.
What is centripetal force?
The ability to do work.
What is energy?
An English primatologist and anthropologist who is famous for her work with chimpanzees.
Who is Jane Goodall?
A straight line on a position vs time graph.
What is constant motion?
A type of circuit in which current has only one path to take.
What is a series circuit?
Another name for the force of gravity acting on a mass.
What is weight?
The quantity of motion that an object has, defined by its mass and velocity.
What is momentum?
An English mathematician who is credited with inventing the first basic system of computation that would later be used in computer languages and programming.
Who is Ada Lovelace?
A curved line on a position vs time graph.
What is accelerated motion?
A type of circuit in which current has more than one path to take.
What is a parallel circuit?
There is a pair of forces acting on two interacting objects.
What is Newton's Third Law?
The change of momentum of an object when the object is acted upon by a force for a period of time.
What is impulse?
An African-American mathematician whose calculations of orbital mechanics as a NASA employee were critical to the success of many U.S. manned spaceflights.
Who is Katherine Johnson?
