Waves and Oscillations
This is the maximum value away from equilibrium.
What is amplitude?
This is the speed limit of the universe.
What is the light speed?
This is the sub-atomic particle that travels down a wire to create electricity.
What is an electron?
These three sub-atomic particles are what atoms consist of.
What are protons, neutrons, and electrons?
This is Newton's second law.
F=ma
This is a point in a standing wave where amplitude is minimum.
What is a node?
This is the speed in m/s that light travels.
c=300,000,000 m/s
This type of material lets electrons flow freely.
What is conductor?
This is the numerical value of the mass of an electron.
What is 9.11e-31kg?
This is the father of calculus and modern physics.
Who is Sir Isaac Newton?
If a block is attached to a spring that is oscillating, this is the displacement at which speed is highest.
What is equilibrium (x=0)?
Snell's law is used when this happens.
What is refraction?
If the electrons are flowing to the right, this is the direction of the current.
What is to the left?
This is the thought experiment that explains the concept of superposition.
What is Schrodinger's cat?
When a tire is rolling, it has a frictional force with this type of frictional coefficient.
What is static friction?
This is the equation for elastic potential energy.
What is E=1/2*kx^2.
This is the maximum FPS that the human eye can see.
What is 30 FPS?
This is a way of generating electricity commonly seen in electric motors.
What are spinning magnets around a coiled wire (or vice versa)?
This is the equation famous Albert Einstein created to equate energy and mass.
What is E=mc^2
If an archer wants to hit a coconut that is about to fall from a tree, this is where he will aim at the moment the coconut falls.
Where is exactly where the coconut is before it falls.(original position)? *because gravity cancels
This is the formula for force exerted by spring.
What is F=-kx (a negative sign must be present for the answer to be correct)?
If you fire a laser in a 60-degree angle to the horizontal, this is the angle that is reflected.
What is 60 degrees(240 degree)?
This is the direction of electromagnetic force exerted on a proton when it travels to the right in a magnetic field traveling away from you.
What's up?
Both light and electrons have been demonstrated to possess properties of both a ______ and a ________.
What is a wave and a particle?
This is the reason why race tracks have banked curves.
What is to increase the frictional force between the car and the track? (so that the car stays in circular motion)
