Electric, magnetic, gravitational
What are the 3 types of seismic waves?
P-Waves, S- Waves and Surface waves
What's the difference between independent and dependent variables?
Independent: stands alone (cause)
Dependent: effect
What's the difference between speed and velocity?
Velocity has direction
What's the difference between conduction and induction?

Explain inertia and how it is different for different sized objects
Inertia: resistance to motion
The bigger the object, the more inertia it has
How can you increase the strength of an electromagnet?
More coils, tighter coils, stronger magnetic core (battery), etc.
Explain the difference between P-waves and S-waves (motion and speed)
P-waves: push and pull, fastest, solid and liquid
S-waves: side to side, slower
