Amplitude
|
The distance from the crest of the wave to its rest position it relates to the amount of energy in a wave
|
|
Wavelength
|
The distance between a point on one wave and the identical point on the next wave (sample crest to crest)
|
|
Centripetal force
|
Causes an object to move in a circular path
|
|
Terminal velocity
|
The maximum speed reached by a falling object which happens when air resistance balances the force of gravity
|
|
Acceleration
|
The rate at which the velocity of an object is changing-it can speed up, slow down, or change in direction
|
|
Weight
|
A major mess of the force of gravity pulling down on an object
|
|
Gravity
|
And attractive force between two objects that depends on their masses in the distance between them
|
|
Examples of conduction
|
Examples are a pot on the stove. Holding a hot cuppa coffee. Be traveling down the length of a metal rod one and is heated
|
|
Examples of convection
|
Examples include flying your hair with a blow dryer. Hot air circulating through a house
|
|
Examples of radiation
|
Examples include the sun warming and 10. Food warming in a microwave oven
|
|
Heat
|
Movement of thermal energy from a substance at a higher temperature to a substance at a lower temperature
|
|
Reflection
|
Occurs when a wave strikes an object or surface and bounces off
|
|
Kinetic energy
|
Energy and object has due to its motion
|
|
Newtons first law of motion
|
States that if the net force acting on an object is zero the object will remain at rest or move in a straight line with a constant speed
