What is Sound Frequency?

 Sound frequency is the number of times per second a sound wave repeats itself, and is measured in hertz (Hz):

100

What is Drag?

It tracks the motion in a object

100

What is Potential Energy?

Potential energy is stored energy that an object has because of its position, state, or shape.

200

What is Amplitude?

 Sound amplitude is the measurement of the height of a sound wave, or the maximum displacement of the vibrating particles in the medium (air, liquid or solid)  from their average position.

200

What is Aerodynamics?

The study of the movement of air, specifically how it flows around objects such as cars and airplanes.

200

What is Kinetic Energy?

Kinetic energy is the energy an object has because it is moving.

300

Does sound travel through longitudinal waves or transverse waves?

LONGITUDINAL

300

What is Gravity?

Gravity is an invisible force that pulls objects toward each other.

300

What is Heat Transfer 

Heat transfer is the movement of thermal energy from  a warmer object to a cooler object.


400

Sound requires a material to travel through. What is this material or substance called?

A MEDIUM

400

What is Friction?

Opposes motion between the marble and surface, eventually slowing it down.

400

What is Thermal Energy 

Thermal energy is the energy a substance has due to the movement of its atoms and molecules.

500

What 3 states of matter can sound go through?

Sound can move through solids, liquids, and gases

Examples:

  • Solids: Hearing through walls (fastest)

  • Liquids: Underwater sounds in a pool 

  • Gases: Conversations in air (slowest)

What is AeroBalance?

Aerobalance is how wind pushes down on different parts of a moving car or airplane to keep it steady

What is Gravitational Energy

Gravitational Energy is stored energy an object has because it is lifted high up off the ground. The higher you lift something, or the heavier the object is, the more gravitational energy it stores.
