First law
Define a wave
A disturbance that transfers energy through matter or
space.
Define Kinect energy
The energy possessed by an object due to its
motion.
Define Element
A substance composed of atoms with the same number
of protons in their atomic nuclei, characterized by its atomic number.
Define Gravity
The force that attracts a body toward the center of
the Earth, or toward any other physical body having mass.
Second law
Accelration
Define cest
The highest point of a wave above its equilibrium
position.
Potential energy-
The energy possessed by an object due to
its position or condition.
Define Atomic Number
The number of protons found in the nucleus of
an atom, which determines the element's identity in the periodic table.
define: Matter
Anything that has mass and occupies space.
Third law
Reaction
Define Trough
The lowest point of a wave below its equilibrium
position.
Mechanical energy: define
The sum of kinetic energy and potential
energy in a system.
Define: Atomic Mass
The average mass of an element's isotopes,
taking into account the abundance of each isotope.
Define: Chemical Change
A process in which one or more substances
are converted into different substances with different properties.
Define: Energy:
The capacity to do work or produce heat; may exist
in potential, kinetic, thermal, electrical, chemical, nuclear, or other various
forms.
The distance between two consecutive crests or
troughs of a wave.
Define thermal energy
The internal energy of a system due to the
kinetic energy of its particles.
Define: Period on the periodic table
A horizontal row in the periodic table that
represents the number of electron shells in an atom.
Define:
Physical Change
A change in which the form or appearance of
matter changes, but not its chemical composition.
define transverse and Longitudinal wave
Transverse Waves: Waves in which the particles of the medium
move perpendicular to the direction of the wave's motion. Examples include
light waves and water waves.
Longitudinal Waves: Waves in which the particles of the
medium move parallel to the direction of the wave's motion. Examples include
sound waves.
Define Chemical energy
Energy stored in the bonds of chemical
compounds, released during a chemical reaction.
Define: Metalloid
Elements found along the staircase line on the
periodic table, exhibiting properties of both metals and nonmetals.
Define: Mixture
A substance made by mixing other substances
together without chemical bonding.
