Jose has two bar magnets. He pushes the ends of the two magnets together and then he lets go. The magnets move quickly apart. Why is this?
Repulsion: Magnets poles are the same either north and north or south and south.
Which factor has the greatest impact on kinetic energy?
velocity
What variables are needed to determine the kinetic energy of an object?
mass and velocity
Which of Newton's Three Laws of Motion is based on the equations F=ma?
Newton's 2nd Law of Motion
The acceleration of an object depends on the mass of the object and the amount of force applied.
What is the frequency of the following wave?
5 Hertz
The south pole of Earth's magnetic field is closet to which continent?
North America
A lamp is used in a restaurant to keep food warm. What type of energy transformation is occurring?
Electrical to Radiant to Thermal
To change one form of energy into another is known as
Energy Transformation
Which of Newton's Three Laws of Motion is also known as the Law of Inertia?
The law of inertia is Newton's 1st law.
(An object rest stays at rest, and object in motion stays in motion, unless...)
As the wavelength of a wave decreases, what happens to the frequency?
the frequency increases
