This constant is often used to measure objects in free fall on Earth.
(May be rounded to 10 by Dr. Steffen)
9.81 m/s^2
The closest star to Planet Earth.
The Sun
The positive and neutral charged particles inside the nucleus.
Proton and Neutron
Daily Double!
The state in which Schrödinger's cat can be both alive and dead before being observed.
Superposition
The recipient of the Nobel Prize for his discovery of the Photoelectric Effect, also for his famous equation
E = M*C**2Albert Einstein
What are Newtons 3 laws of motion?
1. Object in motion stays in motion
2. F = ma
3. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction
This type of planet does not contain any rocky surface. They can usually be seen to be many times the size of Earth, but may be even less dense than Earth.
Gas Giant
A nuclear phenomenon that happens due to the decay or disintegration of the atomic nucleus.
Radioactivity
Particles in a bound state that only have discrete values for properties such as energy or momentum are said to be this.
Quantized
She is most well known for being the first female to win the Nobel Prize for her contribution to Radiation Physics.
Marie Curie
Often the first concept taught in Newtonian physics, a set of four equations that can be utilized to predict unknown information about an object's motion if other information is known.
Kinematic Equations
The three classifications of galaxies observed in our universe.
Elliptical, Spiral, and Irregular
Out of Alpha, Beta, and Gamma rays, this one can penetrate more than the rest and is considered the most dangerous.
Gamma Rays
The partial differential equation that governs the wave function of a quantum mechanical system.
The Shrödinger Equation
Known for his black hole emission theory
(______ Radiation)
this disabled scientist is recognized by his robotic means of communications.
Stephen Hawking
The dimensionless coefficient that quantifies the resistance of an objects motion in a fluid environment.
This specific type of black hole is observed to be consuming material from an accretion disk, creating an incredible source of light that, in some cases, shines out entire galaxies.
Quasar
The reaction in which the nucleus of an atom splits into two or more smaller nuclei. Physicist have used this reaction to create atomic bombs.
Nuclear Fission
To up is down, to top is bottom, this is the compliment of the Charm Quark.
Strange Quark
The man known for his work in electromagnetism, electrochemistry, and diamagnetism, and a specific electromagnetic shielding cage named after him.
The key concept of fluid dynamics which relates speed, pressure, and height.
Bernoulli's Principle
When attempting to detect wavelengths smaller than infrared, this detected radiation is observed to fill all the space of the observable universe.
Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation
The type of radioactive decay in which an atomic nucleus emits a certain particle, this process is responsible for a neutron that can transform into a proton.
Beta Decay
A value represented by a quantum number that can either be an integer or half integer, describing the angular momentum quantization of a particle.
Spin
The Danish man whose model changed the way we look at atoms. Sometimes known as, the other founder of quantum mechanics.
Neils Bohr
