Newton's Laws
This is the state of motion of an object if no net force acts on it.
Constant or Rest
This term is used to describe a force that is not balanced and results in a change in an object's motion.
Unbalanced
This is the most common non-contact force, pulling all objects toward the center of the Earth.
Gravity
This is the term for the highest point of a transverse wave.
Crest
This is the speed at which all waves in the electromagnetic spectrum travel through a vacuum.
The speed of light or 3 X 108
This property of matter is a measure of an object’s resistance to changes in motion, summarized by the First Law.
Inertia
If you push a box with 10 N of force to the right, and your friend pushes with 5 N to the left, this is the net force.
5 N to the right
This non-contact force can only act on objects made of certain metals, like iron.
Magnetism
This property of a wave is a direct measure of the amount of energy it carries.
Amplitude
This type of electromagnetic wave has the longest wavelength and the lowest frequency.
Radio Wave
This mathematical equation relates force, mass, and acceleration.
F=ma
If an object is moving at a constant velocity, this is the numerical value of the net force acting on it.
This non-contact force is responsible for lightning and the static cling of clothes.
Static electricity
Sound waves are classified as this type of wave because their oscillations are parallel to the energy transfer.
Longitudinal
This type of electromagnetic wave has the shortest wavelength and the highest energy, often used to sterilize equipment.
Gamma Rays
This must be true about the magnitude and direction of the forces involved in an action-reaction pair.
Equal and opposite
When unbalanced forces act on an object, the object will accelerate in the same direction as this.
The stronger force
The orbital path of Earth around the Sun is primarily governed by this non-contact force.
Gravity
This property is the distance between two consecutive crests on a wave.
Wavelength
This is the only portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that the human eye can detect.
Visible Light
If a baseball bat hits a ball, the force the ball exerts on the bat is equal to the force the bat exerts on the ball, but in this direction.
Opposite
This is the term for the overall force acting on an object, calculated by adding all individual forces as vectors.
Net force
All non-contact forces share this property regarding the distance between the two interacting objects.
As distance increases, force decreases
This type of mathematical relationship exists between a wave's frequency and its wavelength.
Inverse
The light used by the remote control for your television falls into this portion of the spectrum.
Infrared
