What is combustion?
The energy an object has because of its motion.
What is kinetic energy?
A measure of a material’s ability to return to its original shape after being stretched or compressed.
What is elasticity?
This concept in physics describes the tendency of objects to resist changes in their state of motion and is quantified by the mass of the object.
what is inertia
The phase of mitosis where chromosomes line up at the cell’s equator
What is metaphase?
The part of an atom that has a negative charge.
