This Semester
What does a calorimetry experiment tell us?
The amount of calories in food
This type of energy is known for acting as both a particle and a wave
Photons / Light
This type of problem was infamous for being tricky and confusing. Used whenever an object is sliding up or down an angled surface.
Inclined plane problems
This contact force causes an object to slow down as it moves across a surface
Friction
What is the difference between a scalar and a vector quantity?
Scalars only have magnitude while vectors have magnitude and direction.
What property makes it so an object can be magnetized?
Unpaired electrons
This process causes the Earth to generate a magnetic field
Rotating of the molten core
The name of this "quick" puzzle challenge ended up taking 4 class periods to work through. (Doesn't have to be exact)
Rock Concert Seating Riddle
(Sound Energy Riddle)
This is the force acting perpendicular to any surface that an object is in contact with.
Normal Force
What type of motion describes how a cannonball shot out of a cannon travels?
Projectile
What additional variable does the moment of inertia consider that is not considered by inertia normally?
Distribution of mass
The sun can shoot solar flares towards the Earth. These solar flares can cause these two things. One that's awesome and one that's not so awesome.
Aurora borealis (Northern Lights) and Geomagnetic storms
Derivative
This force is used whenever an object is being acted upon by a rope
Tension Force
What is Newton's 2nd Law?
F = ma
If we want to determine the number of revolutions made by an object we will need to solve for this variable in the rotational kinematic equations
Theta or Angular displacement
This type of "interference" is what allows devices such as noise-cancelling headphones to work
Destructive interference
What did "S2Q3" stand for?
Semester 2 QUIZ 3
A motionless object sitting at the top of a skyscraper as this type of energy
Potential energy
What is Newton's 1st Law?
Law of Inertia (an object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon)
These are the three variables involved in the Work Equation
This unit of temperature is directly related to the speed of molecules in an object
Kelvin
How many slides have we gone through in class so far? (Closest answer gets the point)
680 Slides
This variable (usually determined by drawing a free body diagram and Newton's 2nd Law) determines whether an object will acceleate
Net Force (Fnet)
What are the three types of collisions in Physics?
Elastic, Inelastic, Perfectly Inelastic
