Vocabulary
Motion
Graphing Motion
100
the energy an object has because of its position or condition
What is potential energy
100
no breaks in flow of electrons
What is a closed circuit
100
the ability to cause change in matter.
What is energy?
100
an object is in motion if its distance from another object is changing
What is motion?
100
you can use a line graph to show change in motion. Its distance (y axis) vs. time (x axis).
What is graphing motion?
200
kinetic energy
What is energy of motion
200
break in flow of electrons
What is an open circuit
200
No, it just changes form
Is energy ever lost?
200
it can be described with a reference point such as North, South, East, West, up, and down
How can you describe motion?
300
carried as waves in vibrating matter
What is sound energy
300
series circuit
What is 1 path for electricity
300
friction that impedes flow of current thorough the circuit.
What is resistance?
300
speed is measured of how quickly an object gets from one place to another.
What is speed?
300
constant speed is shown by a gradually increasing straight line on a graph
What do lines a distance vs. time graph?
400
energy caused by the movement of electrical charges
What is electrical energy
400
many paths for electricity
What is parallel circuit
400
movement at a constant distance per unit of time
What is constant speed?
400
total distance/ total time
What is average speed?
400
increase in speed, a decrease in speed, or changing direction
What is acceleration?
500
can travel through space
What is light energy
500
no
If one bulb goes out in a parallel circuit will the rest?
500
1: an object in motion stay in motion and an object at rest stays at rest unless a person acts on it. 2: acceleration of an object is dependent upon 2 variables- net force acting upon the object + mass of object
What are newtons 2 laws?
500
speed and direction of an object.
What is velocity?
500
final speed- initial speed/time
How do you calculate acceleration?
