Need for Speed
This is the rate of change of velocity; on Earth, gravity provides about 9.8m/s2 of it.
What is Acceleration?
This principle states that the buoyant force on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid it displaces.
What is Archimedes' Principle?
This is the theoretical temperature where all molecular motion stops, also known as 0 K.
What is Absolute Zero?
This subatomic particle carries a negative charge and its movement is what we call "current."
What is electron?
These are the two points on a magnet where the magnetic force is the strongest.
What are Poles (North and South)?
On a Velocity vs. Time graph, the area under the curve represents this vector quantity.
What is displacement?
This term describes a fluid's internal resistance to flow; honey has a much higher value of this than water.
What is Viscosity?
This method of heat transfer occurs through electromagnetic waves and is how the Sun warms the Earth.
What is Radiation?
This law states that Voltage is equal to Current multiplied by Resistance (V = IR).
What is Ohm's Law?
This term describes materials like Iron and Nickel that are strongly attracted to magnets.
What is Ferromagnetic?
This property of matter, described in Newton's 1st Law, is an object's resistance to a change in motion.
What is Inertia?
This principle explains why the pressure in a fluid decreases as the speed of the fluid increases.
What is Bernoulli's Principle?
This is the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of 1 kg of a substance by 1 degree Celsius?
What is Specific Heat Capacity?
In this type of circuit, there is only one path for electrons to flow; if one bulb goes out, they all do.
What is a Series Circuit?
You can create this temporary magnet by wrapping a coil of wire around an iron core and adding current.
What is an electromagnet?
To hit a target with a projectile, you must adjust these two specific quantities.
What are Angle and Initial Velocity?
This law states that for a fixed mass of gas at a constant temperature, volume is inversely proportional to pressure.
What is Boyle's Law?
The First Law of Thermodynamics is a specific version of this broader Law of physics.
What is the Law of Conservation of Energy?
This process removes excess charge from an object by connecting it to a large "sink" like the Earth.
What is Grounding?
This is the specific name for a long, cylindrical coil of wire that acts as a magnet when carrying current.
What is a Solenoid?
This type of collision occurs when two objects hit and stick together, giving off the maximum amount of kinetic energy as heat.
What is Perfectly Inelastic?
This type of fluid flow is characterized by smooth, parallel layers without swirls or eddies.
What is Laminar Flow?
This term describes the measure of disorder or randomness in a system, which the 2nd Law says is always increasing.
What is Entropy?
This device uses induction to "step up" or "step down" the voltage of Alternating Current.
What is a transformer?
This form of electricity transfer can gap distances, creating a shocking sensation.
What is Induction?
