Motion
vector
The tendency of an object to resistance to change in motion.
inertia
This type of energy is stored in an object due to its height above the ground.
gravitational potential energy
This is the distance between two consecutive crests or troughs of a wave.
wavelength
The tendency of a material to oppose the flow of electric current.
Resistance
What is found by calculating the slope of a position-time graph
velocity
This force acts perpendicular to a surface, supporting the weight of an object resting on it.
Momentum is defined as the product of these two variables.
mass and velocity
The material a wave travels through is called the ____
medium
This subatomic particle is the primary carrier of electric charge in solid conductors.
electron
This is the rate at which an object’s velocity changes over time.
acceleration
This is the formula for Newton’s Second Law.
F=ma
If you double the velocity of a moving car, its kinetic energy increases by this factor
Four
This phenomenon occurs when a wave changes direction as it passes from one medium to another (e.g., air to water).
refraction
This is the unit used to measure electrical power, calculated by multiplying Voltage and Current.
Watt
In the absence of air resistance, all objects falling near Earth's surface accelerate at this rate.
9.8 m/s^2
This specific type of friction acts on objects that are not yet in motion.
static friction
elastic collision
This effect explains why a siren sounds higher in pitch as it approaches you and lower as it moves away.
Doppler Effect
n this type of circuit, there is only one single path for the current to flow.
series circuit
An object moves +8 m then -10 m. What is the displacement?
-2 m
In a free-body diagram of an object at terminal velocity, the force of gravity is equal to this opposing force.
air resistance
In a classic egg-drop experiment, landing on a soft cushion rather than concrete prevents the egg from breaking by changing this specific variable in the impulse equation
time
What type of wave is a sound wave?
longitudinal
For all parallel circuits, the _____ is the same in each branch.
voltage
