KINEMATICS
What is acceleration?
This is the rate of change of velocity.
What is the Law of Inertia?
Newton’s First Law is also called this.
What is kinetic energy?
The energy of motion is called this.
What is the ampere?
The unit of electric current is this.
What is wavelength?
The distance between two wave peaks is called this.
What is zero?
An object moving at constant velocity has this acceleration.
What is mg?
The force of gravity near Earth is equal to this expression.
What is potential energy?
Energy stored due to position is called this.
What is V=IR?
Ohm’s Law is expressed as this equation.
What is frequency?
The number of waves per second is called this.
What is displacement?
The area under a velocity-time graph represents this.
What is friction?
This force opposes motion between two surfaces in contact.
What is 1/2mv^2?
The equation for kinetic energy is this.
What is the same?
In a series circuit, current is this throughout.
What is v=f(wavelength)?
Wave speed is calculated using this equation.
What is v^2=v^2/0+2aΔx?
This equation relates velocity, acceleration, and displacement without time.
What are action-reaction pairs?
According to Newton’s Third Law, forces always come in these.
What is mechanical energy?
When only conservative forces act, this quantity is conserved.
What is the same?
In a parallel circuit, voltage is this across each branch.
What is diffraction?
When waves bend around obstacles, it is called this.
What is slowing down?
If acceleration is negative and velocity is positive, the object is doing this.
What is equilibrium?
If net force is zero, the object is in this state.
What is displacement (in the direction of the force)?
Work is defined as force times this.
What is P=IV?
Power in a circuit can be calculated using this formula.
What is refraction?
The bending of light between materials is called this.
