What is 64 m/s?
This type of energy holds together the nucleus of an atom.
This term/variable within the calculation is present in kinetic energy, but NOT in potential energy.
What is velocity?
This type of electrical circuit provides several different pathways.
What is a parallel circuit?
This is the horizontal measurement from one point on the wave to an identical point on a wave.
