According to the Doppler effect, this will happen to the pitch when a car with a blowing horn is approaching.
What is increase?
The interaction between two charged particles.
What is electromagnetism?
The name of the variable that is changed in an experiment.
Dependent variable
Graphing variable
Independent variable
Stable variable
What is independent variable?
The upward force that makes things float.
What is buoyancy?
The type of energy a swinging pendulum demonstrates.
What are both potential and kinetic energy?
Light refracts or bends because...
What is "it slows down"?
What are electrons?
A student conducts an experiment to test how temperature affects the amount of sugar that can be dissolved in water. In the experiment, she uses 100 milliliters of water in each trial and stirs for five minutes each time.
What is the independent variable in this experiment?
What is the temperature of the water?
Pressure is uniform throughout a fluid.
What is Pascal's principle?
This allows liquid to turn into gas when water is boiling.
What is "molecules have enough energy to overcome forces that hold them together"?
The difference between reflection and refraction.
What is "reflection allows light to bounce off of a surface, while refraction allows light to pass through a material and bend due to a change in speed"?
The difference between a conductor and an insulator.
What is "a conductor allows an electric current to flow freely, while an insulator does not"?
