Newtons Laws
This law states that an object at rest will stay at rest, and an object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by a net external force.
Newton's First Law of Motion
This term describes the distance between two consecutive crests
Wavelength
This property of water describes its ability to stick to other substances
Adhesion
This phenomenon, which occurs in coastal areas, results from the gravitational pull of the Moon and the Sun on Earth's waters, leading to the periodic rise and fall of sea levels.
Tides
These boundaries occur where two tectonic plates are moving apart, often resulting in the formation of new oceanic crust.
Divergent Boundaries
According to this law, the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass.
Newton's Second Law of Motion
This part of the electromagnetic spectrum is responsible for causing sunburn and is located just beyond visible light.
ultraviolet (UV) rays
when water molecules stick to each other due to hydrogen bonding.
Cohesion
Which galaxy is considered to be the youngest?
Irregular Galaxies
This type of plate boundary occurs when two plates collide, leading to the formation of mountains or deep ocean trenches.
Convergent Boundaries
If a 10 kg object experiences a net force of 20 N, what is its acceleration?
2m/s^2
This type of electromagnetic wave is commonly used for communication and has a longer wavelength than visible light.
radio waves
This type of mixture has a uniform composition throughout, meaning its components are evenly distributed and cannot be easily separated by physical means.
Homogenous Mixture
how do spring tides differ from neap tides in terms of their occurrence?
Spring tides occur during the new moon and full moon when the gravitational forces of the Moon and Sun align, resulting in higher high tides and lower low tides. Neap tides occur during the first and third quarters of the moon when the gravitational forces are perpendicular, leading to lower high tides and higher low tides.
This process describes how older oceanic crust is pushed down into the mantle at convergent boundaries, leading to recycling of Earth's materials.
Subduction
An example of this law can be seen when a skateboarder pushes off the ground, causing them to move forward while exerting a force backward on the ground.
Newton's Third Law of Motion
These waves do not require a medium to travel
electromagnetic waves
This type of mixture consists of visibly different substances or phases, where the individual components can be easily identified and separated.
Heterogenous mixture
In the life cycle of a massive star, after it has gone supernova, it can leave behind a dense remnant. It may collapse further into an object with an escape velocity greater than the speed of light. What is this final stage of the star's life called?
Black Hole
This type of plate boundary occurs when two tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally, often causing earthquakes along faults such as the San Andreas Fault in California.
Transform Boundary
A 12 kg object is at rest on a horizontal surface. If a horizontal force of 48 N is applied to the object, what will be the net force acting on it and how will this relate to its acceleration?
net force of 48N and an acceleration of 4m/s2
When an electromagnetic wave passes from one medium to another, it can change speed and direction. What is this phenomenon called?
Refraction
This type of substance consists of two or more different elements that are chemically bonded together
Compound
After a massive star exhausts its nuclear fuel and undergoes a supernova explosion, it can leave behind either a neutron star or a black hole. What determines which of these two remnants will form?
Mass
What type of plate boundary caused a vast chain of volcanoes known as the Ring of Fire to form?
Convergent boundary
