What is the energy transformation in a flashlight?

100

a type of wave where particles in the medium vibrate or oscillate parallel to the direction the wave travels, transferring energy through alternating compressions

What is Longitudinal Wave

100

Gives off a light

 What is Radiant

100

 a push or a pull that can change an object's speed, direction, or shape

Whats a Force

100

Newton's Third Law states that for every action, there is an simultaneous reaction that is equal in magnitude (strength) and opposite in direction.

What's Newton's 3rd law?

200

Type of energy that gives off heat


Whats Thermal Energy

200

a wave in which the particles of the medium move perpendicular to the direction the wave is traveling.

What is Transverse Wave

200

Something that causes a basic interaction with your body, usually affects the ears

What is Sound

200

Units used for measuring force

WHat are Newtons

200


Forces that are equal in size and opposite in direction, resulting in no change in an object's motion.

What are balanced forces?

300

Energy that is caused by movement

Whats Kinetic Energy

300

How plants use sunlight to make their own energy

What is Photosynthesis

300

This type of kinetic energy powers your whole house

Whats Electrical

  • Balanced forces are equal in size and opposite in direction. They cause no change in an object's motion (e.g., a tug-of-war where neither side moves).
  • Unbalanced forces are unequal in size or direction. They always cause a change in motion (e.g., speeding up, slowing down, or changing direction).

What are Differences between balanced and unbalanced forces

300


A 10 Newton falling object encounters 4 Newtons of air resistance. This is the net force on the object.

Whats 6 Newtons
400

What type of energy in a rubber band?

Whats Elastic Energy

400

Energy can never be created nor destroyed

Whats Law of Conservation of Energy

400

This is used in things like a can opener or a hand crank

What is Mechanical

400

A: The net force is the overall force acting on an object when all individual forces are added together.

What is Net Force

400


A passenger continuing to move forward when a car suddenly brakes is a prime example of this law.

What is Newton's First Law?
