What is a longitudinal wave?

100

kgm/s

What is momentum?

100

Energy cannot be created or destroyed. It simply changes forms

What is Law of conservation of Energy?

100

p = mv

What is momentum

200

Electromagnetic waves

What is a transverse wave? 

200

m/s2

What is acceleration?

200

mass = 10 kg

height = 10m

acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s/s

What is 980 J?

200

Directionally proportional: as mass increases, momentum also increases.

What is the relationship bewteen momentum and mass?

Water Waves

What is a transverse wave?

300

m/s + direction

What is velocity?

300

A rock resting at the top of a cliff

What is potential energy?

300

directly proportional: as velocity increase, momentum also increases

What is the relationship between momentum and velocity?

400

A wave that travels in a straight line

What is force?


400

a rock falling to the ground

What is kinetic energy?


400

more mass and more velocity

What is greater momentum?


500

The only wave not needing a medium to travel.
