The study of the universe through experiments, observations, and rational thought.

What is Science?

100

The change of an objects position over time.

What is Velocity?

100
Energy can neither be created nor destroyed.

What is the Law of Conservation of Energy?

100

The product of an object's mass and its velocity.

What is momentum?

100
A disturbance in space and time that transfers energy from one place to another.

What is a wave?

200

The way things really are and the same for all people, in all places, for all time.

What is Truth?

200

Matter's resistance to change its state of motion.

What is inertia?

200

The transfer of energy from one object to another through direct force applied over a distance travelled.

What is Work?

200

This collision conserves both momentum and kinetic energy.

What is an elastic collision?

200

This wave propagates perpendicular to the oscillation.

What is a transverse wave?

300

Accounts for and explains most or all of the related scientific facts; and enables the formation of new hypotheses.

What is a (Scientific) Theory?

300

Anything made from atoms or parts of atoms.

What is matter?

300

All energy trails on Earth lead back to this.

What is the Sun?

300

The total energy of a system remains the same before and after a collision.

What is the Law of Conservation of Momentum?

300
The number of wave cycles that occur each second.

What is frequency?

400
These lie outside of an experimental system but still change the outcome.

What is a Lurking Variable?

400

An asteroid speeding through space comes close to a star. When it does, it begins to speed up and turn in its course.

What is Newton's second law of Motion?

400
The transfer of energy from a hotter object to a colder object.

What is Heat?

400

The measure of the amount of matter packed into a specified volume for different substances.

What is density?

400

This spectrum of wave has both visible and invisible parts.

What is the electromagnetic spectrum?

500

This theory was formed through the observation of Mercury's orbit differing from predicted paths.

What is General Relativity?

500

A boy jumps to the left in his canoe, and his canoe shoots off to the right and the boy falls into the water.

What is Newton's third law of Motion?

500
E = mc2

What is the Mass-Energy Equivalence equation?

500

This collision case causes the objects to move in opposite directions after they collide.

What is case 3?

500
This occurs within a standing wave when the dimensions of the medium are an integral multiple of half the wavelength.

What is resonance?
