Patterns
When X doubles Y quadruples. What pattern is this?
Quadratic pattern
Name one of the labs/challenges we did during the Texting & Driving unit
Distraction time, reaction time, Ball on a Ramp lab, system analysis, coding an app, etc.
Name 3 types of energy
Elastic, gravitational potential, kinetic, chemical, nuclear, thermal, solar, etc.
Name the highest part and lowest part of a wave
What was the Inquiry Cube?
A puzzle we did in STEM A that had names, numbers, and colors!
When X doubles, Y stays the same. What pattern is this?
Horizontal line pattern
Calculate the velocity of a bug that can fly 21meters in 5 seconds
4.2m/s
What is the unit we use to measure amounts of energy?
Joules (J)
When frequency of a wave doubles, the wavelength will _______
The wavelength will get cut in half
What "language" do computers/electronics use?
Binary code
When X doubles, Y gets cut in half. What pattern is this?
Inversely proportional
What does constant velocity mean?
This states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or transformed
Law of Conservation of Energy
What happens to the amplitude of a wave if you increase the frequency
The amplitude will stay the same!
List all the planets in our solar system IN ORDER, starting with the closest to the sun
Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, *Pluto*
On Desmos, how do you find your C-value?
Use the slider to make the line of best fit go through all your data points
Calculate the distance a car goes if it travels at 30m/s for 25 seconds
750 meters
If an object has a mass of 6kg and is 14m off the ground, how much GPE does it have?
823.2 Joules
How are energy and waves connected?
Energy moves in waves
Bats emit high frequency pulses. The sound waves bounce off objects and reflect back to the bats. Then the bats can make a mental map of their surroundings and locate prey.
Can your group list all 4 experiments from STEM A that we did to demonstrate our 4 main patterns?
Pendulum Lab, Ball on Floor Lab, Pennies in a Circle, Paragraph Experiment
How is constant velocity different than constant acceleration?
Constant velocity is where an object travels the same distance each second. Constant acceleration is where an object increases its velocity at the same rate per second.
If the spring constant is 8 and the distance that a spring stretches is 12cm, calculate the amount of elastic energy
576 Joules
"Volume" is another way to think about this waves vocab word
Amplitude
This is the medical name for a really bad bruise (we saw this in our ultrasound quiz!)
