Physics
This quantity, often denoted by F, equals the time derivative of momentum and is measured in newtons. It causes acceleration according to Newton’s second law.
What is "Force?"
This type of energy, equal to ½ m v², depends on the mass and velocity of an object.
What is "kinetic energy?"
Who's the goat?
hint: he's 40
This subatomic particle carries a negative charge and orbits the nucleus of an atom.
What is "Electron?"
This type of bond forms when atoms share one or more pairs of electrons.
What is "Covalent bond?"
This phenomenon causes light to bend when it passes between media of different refractive indices.
What is "Refraction?"
This fundamental force keeps planets in orbit around the Sun and objects pulled toward Earth’s surface.
This franchise drafted Kobe Bryant in 1996 before trading him to the Los Angeles Lakers.
What is the "Charlotte Hornets?"
This gas law states that at constant temperature, the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure.
What is "Boyle's law?"
This law states that equal volumes of gases at the same temperature and pressure contain equal numbers of molecules.
What is "Avogadro's law?"
In special relativity, this constant, approximately equal to 3 × 10⁸ meters per second, remains the same in all inertial reference frames.
What is "Speed of light?"
This property of a wave, inversely proportional to its wavelength, is measured in hertz (Hz).
What is "Frequency?"
This player won Defensive Player of the Year three straight times from 2009 to 2011.
What is "Dwight Howard?"
This process separates a solid from a liquid in a heterogeneous mixture using filter paper.
What is "Filtration?"
This property measures how strongly an atom attracts electrons in a chemical bond, with fluorine having the highest value.
What is "Electronegativity?"
This thermodynamic quantity, often symbolized S, measures the disorder or randomness in a system.
This fundamental constant, approximately 6.626 × 10⁻³⁴ joule-seconds, relates the energy of a photon to its frequency.
What is "Planck's constant?"
This franchise, founded in 1946, is the only one to have played every NBA season in the same city without relocation or name change.
What is the "Boston Celtics?"
This thermodynamic function, ΔG = ΔH – TΔS, predicts the spontaneity of a reaction.
This type of reaction occurs when an acid reacts with a base to produce a salt and water.
What is "Neutralization reaction?"
This scientist developed the three laws of planetary motion, including that planets move in elliptical orbits with the Sun at one focus.
What is "Johannes Kepler?"
This American physicist’s uncertainty principle and matrix mechanics helped launch quantum theory in the 1920s.
What is "Werner Heisenburg?"
This player became the first NBA MVP born outside of North America.
What is "Hakeem Olajuwon?"
This scientist arranged the elements by atomic mass and predicted the discovery of new elements in his periodic table.
What is "Dmitri Mendeleev?"
This molecular shape results when a central atom has five bonding pairs and one lone pair, as in bromine pentafluoride.
What is "Square pyramidal?"
