Every object in a state of uniform motion tends to remain in that state of motion unless an external force is applied to it.
What is Newton's First Law
100
quantities that are fully described by a magnitude (or numerical value) alone
What is scalars
100
the degree or intensity of heat present in a substance or object, esp. as expressed according to a comparative scale and shown by a thermometer or perceived by touch.
What is temperature
100
the amount of electric potential energy per unit of charge that would be possessed by a charged object if placed within an electric field at a given location.
What is electric potential
200
the rate at which a vibration occurs that constitutes a wave, either in a material (as in sound waves), or in an electromagnetic field (as in radio waves and light), usually measured per second.
What is frequency
200
premier scientist in the seventeenth century, developed the concept of inertia.
What is Galileo
200
quantities that are fully described by both a magnitude and a direction.
What is vectors
200
the process by which heat or electricity is directly transmitted through a substance when there is a difference of temperature or of electrical potential between adjoining regions, without movement of the material.
What is conduction
200
rate at which charge flows past a point on a circuit.
What is current
300
the fact or phenomenon of light, radio waves, etc., being deflected in passing obliquely through the interface between one medium and another or through a medium of varying density.
What is refraction
300
a property of matter by which it continues in its existing state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line, unless that state is changed by an external force.
What is inertia
300
scalar quantity that refers to "how much ground an object has covered" during its motion.
What is distance
300
the movement caused within a fluid by the tendency of hotter and therefore less dense material to rise, and colder, denser material to sink under the influence of gravity, which consequently results in transfer of heat.
What is convection
300
material's opposition to the flow of electric current; measured in ohms
What is resistance
400
the maximum extent of a vibration or oscillation, measured from the position of equilibrium.
What is amplitude
400
motion pertains to the behavior of objects for which all existing forces are not balanced.
What is Newton's Second Law
400
a vector quantity that refers to "how far out of place an object is"; it is the object's overall change in position.
What is displacement
400
transfer of heat by means of electromagnetic waves
What is radiation
400
current through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the potential difference across the two points.
What is ohm's law
500
a wave that propagates as an oscillation of matter, and therefore transfers energy through a medium.
What is mechanical wave
500
the force resisting the relative motion of solid surfaces, fluid layers, and material elements sliding against each other
What is frictional force
500
If gravity is the only force acting on an object, then we find the object will accelerate at a rate of 9.8m/s2 down toward the center of the Earth
What is acceleration of gravity
500
scientific theory that heat consists of a self-repellent fluid called caloric that flows from hotter bodies to colder bodies.
What is caloric theory
500
When all the devices are connected using parallel connections
