What are the three states of matter?
Solid, Liquid, Gas
Energy can not be created or destroyed, only transformed
This type of wave can be compared to the humps on a camel.
transverse
What is the highest point or peak of a wave called?
Crest
Heat transfer through direct contact is called....
Conduction
What is kinetic energy?
energy due to motion
How does potential energy change as a bike goes down a hill?
The potential energy decreases as it goes closer to the ground
In a transverse wave, the particles move _______________ to the direction of the wave
perpendicular
Amplitude is the height from the ___________ to the __________ or _________
middle, crest, trough
A lava lamp's moving fluid is due to....
Convection
As temperature decreases, the kinetic energy ___________
decreases
Name the energy transformation of a toaster
electrical -> thermal
On a longitudinal wave, there are compressions and ______________
rarefactions
short
Explain why a hot air balloon works.
Which state of matter has the highest kinetic energy?
Gas
Name the 4 types of potential energy
1) chemical 2) elastic 3) nuclear 4) gravitational
transverse- light waves
longitudinal- sound waves
Which type of EM wave is the least dangerous and why?
Radio waves, has the lowest frequency
Provide an example and explain how it has all 3 types of heat transfer
1) A hot cup of coffee
2) A water kettle on the stove
3) A heater for the house
Describe all three states of matter and their motions. (+100 points if your whole team does the movements)
Solids - vibrate in place
Liquids- flowing
Gases- moving very fast
Name the energy transformation of "A battery powers a phone that chimes when turned on"
chemical -> electrical -> sound
Sound waves can not travel in space, but light waves can... Why?
light waves are transverse, so they do not need a medium
Name all of the types of EM waves in order from lowest to highest frequency
1) radio 2) microwaves 3) infrared 4) visible 5) ultraviolet 6) X-rays 7) gamma
