Balancing Act
The direction an object will accelerate when acted upon by unbalanced forces
What is the direction of the net force?
The gravitational force exerted on an object (ie. weight)
An object that attracts iron and other materials that have magnetic qualities similar to iron
What is a magnet?
The invisible region around any charge object where an electric force is applied to other charged objects
What is an electric field?
A disturbance that transfers energy from one place to another without transferring matter
What is a wave?
The law that state when an object applies a force on another object, the second object applies a force of the same strength on the first object in the opposite direction
What is Newton's third law of motion?
The acceleration of an object
What is m/sec? (or ft/sec, etc.)
North and south
What are magnetic poles?
The transfer of charged particles between two conductors that are touching
What is conduction?
The material through which a wave travels
What is a medium?
The force that pushes perpendicular to the object's surface
What is the normal force?
The electrical potential energy difference between two places on a circuit
What is a volt?
An invisible field surrounding a magnet
What is a magnetic field?
A circuit that is complete and has energy flowing through it
What is a closed circuit?
The maximum height of a wave
What is a crest?
What is gravity?
Frequency
What is Hertz?
The place on a magnet where it applies the most force
What is a magnetic pole?
The movement of electrically charged particles

The minimum height of a wave?
What is a trough?
The acceleration of objects near Earth
What is gravitational acceleration
