Force and Motion (Fuerza y Movimiento)
The law that states than an object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
What is Newton's First Law of Motion?
When the north pole of one magnet is brought near the south pole of another magnet, this type of force occurs.
What is attraction?
This type of light wave does not require a medium to travel and includes visible light.
What is an electromagnetic wave?
The ability to make things move or change.
La capacidad de hacer que las cosas se muevan o cambien.
What is energy?
¿Qué es la energía?
This process moves water from Earth's surface into the atmosphere as water vapor due to heat from the sun?
What is evaporation?
This term describes a push or a pull acting on an object.
What is a force?
This happens when two like poles of magnets are pushed together, causing them to move apart.
What is repulsion?
When light bounces off a surface, this process occurs.
What is reflection?
The energy that is stored in an object or system.
La energía que está almacenada en un objeto o sistema.
What is potential energy?
¿Qué es la energía potencial?
This term describes all living and nonliving things interacting a particular area.
What is an ecosystem?
When the total force on an object is zero, this is the state the object is in.
What is balanced forces (or equilibrium)?
Materials like iron, nickel, and cobalt are known for having this property, meaning they can be strongly affected by magnets.
What is magnetism (or being magnetic)?
This happens when light changes direction as it passes from one medium to another, like from air into water.
What is refraction?
The energy that an object has because it is moving.
La energía que tiene un objeto porque se está moviendo.
What is kinetic energy?
¿Qué es la energía cinética?
This structure controls what enters and leaves the cell.
What is the cell membrane?
This law explains that acceleration depends on both the mass of an object and the amount of force applied.
What is Newton's Second Law of Motion?
The region around a magnet is where magnetic forces can act on other objects without direct contact.
What is a magnetic field?
The distance between two consecutive peaks of a light wave is called this.
What is a wavelength?
Plugging in a dead phone to a portable battery charger is an example of this change in energy.
Conectar un teléfono descargado a un cargador de batería portátil es un ejemplo de este cambio de energía.
What is energy transfer?
¿Qué es la transferencia de energía?
This body system is responsible for transporting oxygen, nutrients, and waste throughout the body.
What is the circulatory system?
For every action force, there is an equal and opposite reaction--this is known at this law.
What is Newton's Third Law of Motion?
The invisible lines that show the direction and strength of a magnetic field are called these.
What are magnetic field lines?
The part of the electromagnetic spectrum is visible to the human eye.
What is visible light?
Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed.
La energía no puede crearse ni destruirse, solo transformarse.
What is the Law of Conservation of Energy?
¿Qué es la Ley de Conservación de la Energía?
These are segments of DNA that carry instructions for traits passed from parents to offspring.
What are genes?
