Energy
Is the energy of motion.
What is Kinetic Energy
constant fluctuations that travel through space
waves
smallest unit of matter
atoms
a push or pull
force
States that the total amount of energy cannot change unless energy enters or leaves.
Law of Conservation of energy
number of vibrations a wave makes per a unit of time
frequency
made of two or more atoms joined together chemically (can be made of same element or more than one)
molecules
resistance to change in state of motion
inertia
Is produced when magnetic fields are generated.
Magnetic energy
a disturbance that causes the molecules in matter to bump into each other
mechanical wavs
a gas that is charged
plasma
rate of change in velocity
acceleration
Does not require any form of matter
radiation
this occurs when light strikes a surface and the energy of the photon is taken up by matter
absorption
the different forms of matter
states of matter
resists motion
friction
the random motion of particles
thermal energy
occurs when light encounters an object and slightly bends as it passes
diffraction
a table arranging all the known elements
Periodic Table of Elements
the measure of the length of a path that a moving object takes
displacement
