What's the Difference
It's the Law
Light and Sound
Electric Avenue
Smashing Atoms
100
The difference between distance and displacement is that when you measure displacement, this must be included.
What is direction
100
Energy cannot be created or destroyed but can be transformed.
What is the Law of Conservation of Energy or the 1st Law of Thermodynamics
100
Light waves are also know as this type of wave- a classification of waves that do not need a medium to travel.
What is electromagnetic waves.
100
Electrical energy is caused by the movement of these subatomic particles.
What are electrons
100
These particles contain nearly all the mass of an atom and are found in the nucleus.
What are protons and neutrons.
200
The amount of time it takes to change your position describes how fast you are moving and is called velocity. That is different from acceleration which describes how fast this happens.
What is changing velocity
200
An object will maintain a constant velocity unless a net force is applied.
Newton's 1st Law or the Law of Inertia
200
Our brains interpret and recognize different frequencies of sound waves as differences in this characteristic.
What is pitch
200
Static electricity is formed by objects building up charge until the voltage is high enough to discharge all of it at once, as opposed to this type of electricity which moves constantly due to a constant source of voltage.
What is current electricity
200
The atomic number of an element is based on these particles which determine what element it is.
What are protons.
300
Frequency is the number of waves that pass a position per unit of time. It is related but different from this property which is the amount of time it takes per wave to pass a position.
What is wave period.
300
In chemical reactions, atoms are rearranged, but no new atoms are created or destroyed, demonstrating this law.
What is the Law of Conservation of Matter
300
Our brains interpret and recognize different frequencies of visible light waves as differences in this characteristic.
What is color
300
Ohm's law tells us we increase the current of electricity by increasing the voltage or decreasing this property.
What is resistance.
300
Changing the number of these particles will change the mass of an atom without changing what element it is, creating a new isotope
What are neutrons
400
Mass is the amount of matter in an object and is measured in grams. Weight is a different because it measures this and uses these units. (Give both answers)
What is the force of gravity (pull of gravity) and newtons.
400
An object's velocity will change more quickly if more force is applied but will change more slowly if the object has more mass.
Newton's 2nd Law
400
If the amplitude of light waves are increased, the light will become brighter. If the amplitude of sound waves is increased, this will happen.
What is becomes louder.
400
The number of bulbs that would turn off if the switch was opened on this circuit.
What is 1
400
According to this rule, most atoms are more chemically stable when their last energy level has 8 electrons.
What is the Octet Rule
500
Thermal energy is the total amount of kinetic energy in the particles of an object and is different from temperature and heat. These definitions describe temperature and heat. (Need both)
What is the average kinetic energy of particles (temperature) and the movement of thermal energy due to different temperatures (heat).
500
All objects in the universe with mass have a force of attraction between them (even if it is incredibly small in some cases)
What is the Law of Universal Gravitation
500
When a source of sound waves is moving closer to an observer, the Doppler Effect cause the pitch to seem higher. What is the effect called when a source of visible light waves moves toward an observer?
What is red shift
500
The current down each branch of this circuit.
What is 3A
500
When an atom gains or loses valence electrons, it becomes this- an atom with a charge.
What is an ion
