Matter & Atoms
Has a negative charge and orbits the nucleus.
What is an electron?
Calculated by dividing the total distance traveled by the total time taken.
What is speed?
The type of wave that requires a medium to travel through.
What is a mechanical wave?
Material that allows electricity to easily flow through it.
What is a conductor?
Occurs when a big nucleus splits into two smaller nuclei, releasing energy.
What is nuclear fission?
This column has elements with similar chemical properties and the same number of valence electrons.
What is a group?
The law that states an object in motion stay in motion unless acted upon by an outside force.
What is Newton's first Law of Motion?
The maximum distance a wave vibrates from it's resting position.
What is amplitude?
A circuit that only has one path for electricity to flow through.
What is a series circuit?
Radiation with the highest power.
What is a gamma ray?
The bond that forms when two nonmetal atoms SHARE electrons.
What is a covalent bond?
Any change in an objects velocity?
What is acceleration?
The highest point on a transverse wave.
What is the crest?
A temporary magnet created by wrapping wire around an iron core.
What is an electromagnet?
When two smaller nuclei combine to form a big nucleus.
What is nuclear fusion?
The law that states, matter cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction.
What is the law of conservation of Mass?
The contact force of two objects rubbing against each other.
What is friction?
The number of waves that pass a fixed point in a certain amount of time.
What is frequency?
When a change in the magnetic field creates an electric current in a wire.
What is electromagnetic induction?
Dangerous energy released by an unstable nucleus.
What is radiation?
The term for an atom that has lost or gained electrons.
What is an ion?
The tendency of an object to stay at rest.
The energy stored in an object due to it's position.
What is potential energy?
The law that states (I = V/R).
What is Ohm's Law?
The central part of an atom.
What is the nucleus?
