Newton's Laws
This law explains why a passenger continues to move forward when a car suddenly stops.
What is Newton's 1st Law?
This is the highest part of a wave.
what is a crest?
This is the name of the type of waves that the human eye can see.
what is Visible light?
This type of EM wave is used in microwaves, cell phones, and RADAR.
What are microwaves?
These types of transverse waves do not require a medium to travel.
What are electromagnetic waves?
It was discovered that gamma rays could be used to treat this.
what are tumors/cancer?
This law is demonstrated when a rocket launches by pushing hot gases out of its engine, and the hot gases push back with an equal and opposite force, propelling the rocket into space.
What is Newton's 3rd Law?
This is the lowest part of a wave.
what is a trough?
This type of electromagnetic wave has the shortest wavelength.
What are Gamma waves?
This type of EM wave is used for television, alarm systems, and baby monitors.
What are radio waves?
These types of transverse waves require a medium to travel.
What are mechanical waves?
This NASA space telescope was used to discover the presence of water and organic molecules in a galaxy that is 3.2 billion light years away.
What is the Spitzer?
This law is demonstrated when a baseball player hits a baseball with a large amount of force, causing the ball to accelerate very quickly.
What is Newton's 2nd law?
This is the distance between two crests.
What is a wavelength?
This type of electromagnetic wave has the longest wavelength.
what are Radio waves?
This type of EM wave is used to sterilize medical equipment.
What are ultraviolet waves?
Mechanical and Electromagnetic are two subcategories of this type of wave.
what are transverse waves?
This occurs when objects reflect specific visible light wavelengths.
What is color?
This would be the acceleration rate of a 50kg object if it were pushed with a force of 500 newtons.
What is 10m/s2?
This is the number of crests that pass a given point per second.
What is frequency?
This type of electromagnetic wave is associated with heat and is given off by warm objects.
what are infrared waves?
This type of EM wave is used in remote controls and can be used by certain animals.
what are infrared waves?
These waves travel in a direction parallel to the direction of vibrations.
What are longitudinal waves?
This is the name of a graph that can be used to identify an object's chemical composition and to determine physical properties such as temperature and density.
what is a spectral signature?
