What is gravity on Earth?
He discovered EM waves.
Who is Heinrich Hertz
What must be exerted upon an object at rest to cause it to move?
What is Force?
What states that energy cannot be created or destroyed?
What is the law of conservation of energy?
How many volts are in a typical wall outlet in the United States?

This law states that current flow in a circuit is directly proportional to the potential difference between its ends. (I = V/R)
What is Ohm's Law.
She was the first woman to win the Nobel Prize?
Who is Marie Curie?
What is known as 6.022 x 10^23 mol^-1?
What is Avogadro's Constant.
He is best known for the development of the law which describes the inversely proportional relationship between the absolute pressure and volume of a gas, if the temperature is kept constant within a closed system. He is the namesake for this law which describes how pressure decreases as volume increases.
Who is Robert Boyle
An object has a negative acceleration, this means it is.
What is slowing down?
The force of attraction or repulsion of two ions is directly proportional to the product of their changes and inversely proportional to the square distance between them.
What is Coulombs Law.
This prominent physicist was a US founding father and primary author of the Treaty of Paris (1783).
Who is Ben Franklin?
The resulting unit of force when mass in kilograms is multiplied by meters per second squared.
What are newtons?
Best known for his contributions to quantum mechanics he introduced the uncertainty principle and played a crucial part in developing matrix mechanics.
Who is Werner Heisenberg?
Another word for distance in a certain direction.
What is displacement?
This law can be used to determine the field or enclosed current. The SI unit of current is named after this law.
What is Amphere's Law
This experiment showed that light way both a particle and a wave.
What is the Young’s Double Slit Experiment?
