U1: KINEMATICS
This is the area under a velocity-time graph.
What is displacement/position?
What is air resistance?
This type of radioactive decay emits a photon.
What is gamma decay?
A water wave is this type of wave.
What is a complex wave (combination of transverse and longitudinal)?
This circuit element results in a DC voltage gain.
What is a battery?
This is the acceleration of a projectile in the x-direction.
What is 0 m/s^2?
This describes a form of energy an object possesses because of its position in relation to forces in its environment.
What is potential energy?
Given the acronym, SHM, this term is used to describe motion that repeats itself at regular intervals.
What is Simple Harmonic Motion?
This scenario allows two planes travelling at different speeds to have different Mach numbers.
What is different air temperatures?
The magnetic field lines point in this direction outside of a magnet.
What is from North to South?
This kinematics equation has the following four quantities in it:
initial velocity, time, acceleration and displacement.What is
d = vi*t + (1/2)a*t^2 ?
This is the maximum velocity that a falling object can reach.
What is terminal velocity?
This is the total quantity of kinetic and potential energy possessed by the atoms or molecules of a substance.
What is thermal energy?
!!DAILY DOUBLE!!
The third harmonic of standing waves in a medium with fixed ends has this many antinodes.
What is 3 antinodes?
*get double the value of this space if correct, lose double the value if incorrect.
This circuit measuring device is connected in series with a load.
What is an ammeter?
An acceleration-time graph with a horizontal line in quadrant 4, (where quadrant 1 represents an object traveling north) represents this type of velocity.
What is an object that is traveling south at constant velocity?
Wagon A is connected by rope to Wagon B. Wagon A is pulled to the right, and wagon B follows. The carts both have equal values of these two vector quantities.
This type of heat is added to a system when a substance's temperature remains constant as it changes from one state to another.
What is specific latent heat?
When a wave travels from a slower medium to a faster medium, the reflected wave undergoes this.
What is nothing.
(no inversion for slow to fast, only fast to slow).
The strength of a magnet can be increased by increasing the following 3 things.
What is increasing the current, increasing the number of coils in the solenoid and placing a bar magnet inside the coil?
!!DAILY DOUBLE!!
This is the optimum angle for greatest projectile range.
What is 45 degrees?
**Double points value if answer is correct, lose double points value if answer is incorrect.
In an atom, this force holds the nucleus together.
What is the strong nuclear force?
A force-displacement graph that has an area of 10 Nm in quadrant 1 and 5 Nm in quadrant 4 represents this total quantity (name the quantity as well).
What is 5 Nm (or 5 J) of work?
This is the name of the effect when the frequency of a sound changes as it moves relative to the observer.
What is the Doppler Effect?
This type of current comes from a battery.
What is DC (Direct Current)?
