Physicists
The creator of the 3 fundamental laws of motion
Who is Isaac Newton?
The force that pulls you down a slide
What is gravity?
The quantity defined as 1/2mv2
What is kinetic energy?
What is frequency?
This fundamental property of matter comes in positive and negative forms and is conserved
What is electric charge?
The creator of the theory of relativity and E=mc2
Who is Albert Einstein?
This quantity equals the net force acting on an object divided by its mass
What is acceleration?
If no nonconservative forces act on a system, this quantity remains constant
What is total mechanical energy?
The height of a wave
What is amplitude?
The electric force between two point charges is described by this law
What is Coulomb's Law?
Proved that all objects fall at the same rate regardless of weight
Who is Galileo?
This force occurs when two surfaces are not sliding relative to one another
What is static friction?
This is the SI unit of power
What is the watt?
Snell's Law related angles of refraction to this property of each medium
What is index of refraction?
Capacitance is defined as charge divided by this quantity
What is voltage?
First person to win two Nobel Prizes and first woman to win a Nobel Prize
Who is Marie Curie?
The acceleration of an object moving in a circle at constant speed always points in this direction
What is the center?
If a force is always perpendicular to displacement, the work done is this amount
What is zero?
This phenomenon explains the change in frequency heard when an ambulance passes by
What is the Doppler effect?
In a series circuit, this quantity is the same through all components
What is current?
Known as the founder of quantum theory
Who is Max Planck?
In a closed system with no external forces, this quantity is conserved
What is momentum?
A car doubles its speed, its kinetic energy changed by this factor
What is 4?
When two waves overlap, their displacements combine according to this principle.
What is superposition?
A changing magnetic flux through a loop induces this quantity
What is an EMF (electromotive force)?
