100

This is produced when electrons move through a circuit. 

Electricity (What is electricity?)

100
The SECOND weakest type of wave on the EM spectrum 

Microwaves (what are microwaves) 

100

materials through which heat and electricity transmits through easily

A conductor (what is a conductor?)

100

any push or a pull on a object 

Force (what is a force?)

100

The Kinetic Energy formula

1/2 X mass X velocity (what is 1/2 X mass X velocity)
200

any material that attracts or repels iron/steel/nickel etc.

Magnet (what is a magnet) 
200

True or False: Radio waves ALONE can do enough damage to seriously hurt a person. 

False-- Radio waves alone do not carry enough energy to harm someone.  

200

materials that prevent electric charges from flowing through them easily

Insulator (what is an insulator?)

200

The only type of force that can cause motion 

Unbalanced (what are unbalanced forces?)

200

The three parts of an atom 

Proton, Neutron, Electron (What are protons, neutrons, and electrons?) 

300

The interaction between electricity and magnetism

Electromagnetism (what is electromagnetism?)

300

The EM spectrum in order from weakest wave to strongest.

Radio, Micro, Infrared, Visible Light, UV, X-Ray, Gamma (What is... ?)

300

Name every type of energy defined by M.E.L.T.S -- 

Mechanical, Electrical, Light, Thermal, Sound (what is....?)

300

What is the unit/measurement for the FORCE of an object? 

Newtons or "N" (What are newtons?)

300

The formula for gravitational potential energy. Explain what each variable stands for. 

m X g X h

m = mass 

g = gravity (9.8) 

h = height 

400

True or False: Gravity will pull "harder" on an individual standing on the ground compared to someone standing at a higher elevation. 

FALSE -- The person standing higher up (high elevation) will have a higher GPE (gravitational potential energy).

400

The difference between mechanical waves and EM waves. 

Mechanical waves can be FELT and need a medium to travel. EM waves do not. 

400

True or False: Energy is not carried by waves, but they are the same thing. 

False -- Energy IS carried by waves, and they ARE NOT the same thing. 

400

Write the speed formula. Calculate the speed of an object that travelled 1200 miles in 20 hours. 

Speed = Distance / Time 

1200/20 = 60 miles per hour. 

400

Calculate the GPE of a man who weighs 48 kilograms and who is standing 20 feet off of the ground.

9,408 joules. (What is 9,408 joules?)

500

How does the rotational force of gravity affect the seasons on Planet Earth?  

Earth rotates around the Sun, this determines which season it is by controlling what side of the planet is facing towards the Sun (Summer) or away from the Sun (Winter) 

500

Place the colors of the Visible Light spectrum in order from STRONGEST/HIGHEST FREQUENCY to WEAKEST/LOWEST FREQUENCY. 

V. I. B. G. Y. O. R 

500

Which type of energy is obtained from breaking apart an atom? Would it be considered a type of potential energy or a type of kinetic?

Nuclear Energy-- Which is a type of potential energy. 

500

Calculate the slope between the following two points: (2, 4) and (8, 6). 

SHOW ALL WORK. 

m = 3 (What is m= 3)
