The force between two objects rubbing together creating heat
What is friction?
The highest point of a transverse wave.
What is the name of the force between to magnets?
magnetic force
T or F
Frequency and wavelength are inversely proportional; as one increases, the other must decrease.
True
The non-contact force that pulls everything on Earth towards its center.
What is gravity?
The law that states that objects in motion stay in motion and objects at rest stay at rest...or the law of inertia.
What is Newton's 1st law?
When a wave bounces off of a medium.
What is reflection?
The area around the magnet that shaped the iron filings in our lab
magnetic field
What is the first wave type in an Earthquake?
P waves or Primary waves
The non-contact force created by aligned flow of electrons. (hint: and has poles where opposites attract)
magnets
The law that is known as the "action-reaction" law. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
What is Newton's 3rd law?
When a medium always some light through but "scatters" or changes its path. The medium is considered...
What is translucent?
These waves, often used for broadcasting, have the longest wavelengths and lowest frequencies in the spectrum.
Radio
Wave Refraction happens because air and water are different in what way?
Density
Electricity is the flow of what?
electrons
If a car is moving at 50mph on cruse control, you can describe the forces as .....
what is balanced?
When all the colors of the visible spectrum are absorbed, what color do we see?
what is black?
These high-energy waves are commonly used by doctors to image bones but carry more energy than visible light.
x-rays
Unlike electromagnetic waves, mechanical waves require this—a solid, liquid, or gas—to travel through.
Medium
This is the number of complete waves that pass a certain point in one second. It's what we measure wave length in.
Hertz
If a swimmer kicks off the wall with 50N of force to the right, the walls pushes on the swimmer with....
What is 50 N to the LEFT?
The distance between to crests?
what is wavelength?
This specific type of electromagnetic "radiation", which can cause sunburns, is largely blocked by the Earth's ozone layer. It is the first layer out of our visual spectrum. What type of radiation is it?
Ultra Violet Radiation
In this type of mechanical wave, the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction the wave is traveling.
Transverse
Name 3 ways to make this stronger.
![]()
More loops, closer loops, stronger batter, more magnetic core, bigger nail.
