States of Matter
Tiny particles, such as atoms, molecules, or ions.
All matter is made up of?
This type of energy is associated with the position of an object.
What is potential energy?
This is the distance between two successive crests or troughs of a wave.
What is a wavelength?
This is the unit used to measure electric current.
What is an Ampere (Amp)?
This law states that an object in motion stays in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by an external force.
What is Newton's First Law (or the Law of Inertia)?
The energy of motion
What is Kinetic Energy?
Main source of energy for Earth, driving weather and photosynthesis.
What is the sun?
The number of complete waves that pass a point in a given amount of time is known as this.
What is frequency?
This type of circuit has only one path for the current to flow.
What is a Series Circuit?
This law explains the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration.
What is Newton's Second Law?
solid, liquid, and gas
Three familiar states of matter?
Process involves the conversion of sunlight into chemical energy by plants.
What is Photosynthesis?
This type of wave requires a medium to travel through, such as sound waves.
What is a Mechanical Wave?
This is the measure of opposition to current flow in a circuit.
What is Resistance?
According to this law, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
What is Newton's Third Law?
The fourth state of matter
What is Plasma?
This energy source converts sunlight directly into electricity.
What is Solar Energy?
This is the phenomenon that occurs when a wave bends as it passes from one medium to another.
What is refraction?
This law states the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance.
What is Ohm's Law?
If a net force of 10 Newtons is applied to a 2 kg object, this will be it's acceleration.
What is meters per second squared? (F=ma, so a=F/m = 10N/2kg = m/s squared)
The law that states that matter cannot be created or destroyed.
What is matter?
This is the term for the energy required to raise the temperature of a substance.
What is specific heat capacity?
This principle states that when two or more waves overlap in a medium, the resulting displacement is the sum of their individual displacements.
What is the Principle of superposition?
This component stores electric field.
What is a Capacitor?
This is the property of matter that resists change of motion, as described by Newton's First Law.
What is Interia?
