Kinematics
A _______ is a push or pull on an object resulting from its interaction with another object
What is a FORCE
This quantity describes the number of vibrations per second performed by the source of the waves and so is equivalent to the number of crests passed a fixed point per second
What is frequency
This quantity describes the speed at which ions move along a conductor.
What is drift speed
Protons and neutrons are not fundamental particles. They are in fact made up of these other particles.
What are quarks
Mr Leto has been teaching at SLCS for this many years
What is 2 years
This scientific law states that an object will remain at constant velocity or at rest unless acted on by an outside force
What is Newton's First Law
In sound waves, pitch is closely linked to frequency. In visible electromagnetic waves, frequency is linked to this property
What is color
This meter is typically used to measure the current in a circuit
What is an ammeter
The sun is the largest nuclear reactor in the solar system. Through this process, it turns hydrogen atoms into helium atoms.
What is fusion
Mr Leto studied the decay of muon particles at this international physics laboratory
Calculate the upward force acting on a skydiver of mass 80kg who is falling at a constant speed.
What is 784 N
The first harmonic frequency for a particular organ pipe is 330 Hz. The pipe is closed at one end but open at the other. What is the frequency of its second harmonic?
What is a 660 Hz
Three resistors of resistance 2 ohms, 4 ohms, and 6 ohms are connected in series. Calculate the total resistance
What is 12 ohms
After three half-lives have passed, only this percent of a radioactive sample would still be present.
What is 12.5%
Mr Leto is very often seen drinking this soda before 9am (an unhealthy habit)
What is cherry coke
When two objects crash in this type of collision, some kinetic energy is lost.
What is an inelastic collision
A beam of unpolarized light is incident on a polarizer. The intensity of the light then decreases to this approximate value.
What is 50% the original intensity
The force acting on a wire due to the magnetic field is proportional to these two quantities
What are length and current
In beta-positive decay, an unstable nuclide gains a neutron and emits these two other particles.
What are a positron and an electron neutrino
Mr Leto earned his undergraduate and graduate degrees from this university
What is Boston University
This quantity is used to measure the rate of doing work, in order words the number of joules that can be converted every second.
What is power
Calculate the angle of refraction when the angle of incidence on a glass surface is 55 degrees. The refractive index of the glass is 1.48
What is 34 degrees
An ideal voltmeter (which will have the least impact on a circuit) will have this amount of resistance
What is infinite resistance
This type of hadron is made up of a quark-antiquark pair.
What is a meson
Mr Leto's cat is named after this famous astronomer
