Work - correct answer Term for the displacement of an object in the direction of an
applied force by using/converting energy
Energy - correct answer The capacity to do work or cause change
Kinetic energy - correct answer The energy objects have because they are moving.
Increases with mass and velocity
potential energy - correct answer Energy that is stored
Formula for work - correct answer work = force x displacement
gravitational potential energy - correct answer Energy an object has due to its height
above the ground. Increases with mass and height.
chemical potential energy - correct answer Energy that is stored in the chemical bonds
in a substance
elastic potential energy - correct answer Energy stored in stretched springs, rubber
bands, etc.
electromagnetic energy - correct answer Energy carried by electromagnetic waves.
Light energy.
thermal energy - correct answer Energy from the motion of atoms and molecules.
Depends on mass and temperature
,Law of conservation of energy - correct answer Term for the fact that energy cannot be
created/destroyed, only transferred/converted
oscillation - correct answer A repetitive motion that occurs around a center point or
equilibrium
equilibrium - correct answer A position or state to which an oscillating object eventually
returns to
wave - correct answer A repeating and periodic disturbance (oscillation) that travels
from one point to another, transferring energy
mechanical waves - correct answer Type of waves that require a medium (air, water,
etc.) to travel through, cannot travel through a vaccuum
transverse wave - correct answer Wave where the oscillation is perpendicular to the
direction the wave is traveling
longitudinal wave - correct answer Wave where the oscillation occurs along the
direction the wave is traveling
electromagnetic waves - correct answer Waves with both an electric and magnetic
component. Can only be transverse waves and can travel through a vaccuum
compression - correct answer Region of longitudinal wave where particles are close
together
expansion - correct answer Region of longitudinal wave where particles are far apart
(aka rarefaction)
crest - correct answer The highest point in a wave above equilibrium
,trough - correct answer The lowest point in a wave under equilibrium
amplitude - correct answer The distance between a wave's equilibrium and
crest/trough in a transverse wave, or how compressed/expanded the medium becomes
in a longitudinal wave
wavelength - correct answer The horizontal distance after which the wave repeats
period - correct answer The amount of time needed for one full oscillation/one wave to
pass
frequency - correct answer Number of wave oscillations in a given period of time
sound wave - correct answer A disturbance we can hear that moves through a medium
away from the source
Matter - correct answer Anything that takes up space and has mass
Atom - correct answer The basic building block of matter
valence electrons - correct answer The electrons in the outer most shell of an atom
Element - correct answer A pure substance made of only one kind of atom, defined by
its proton count
atomic number - correct answer The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom
Chemical - correct answer Any substance that has a definite, fixed composition
, Compound - correct answer a chemical combination of two or more different elements
in a fixed ratio
chemical bonds - correct answer the attractive forces that hold atoms together
organic compound - correct answer Compounds that contain carbon and hydrogen
Inorganic compounds - correct answer Compounds that are not organic compounds
pure substance - correct answer A chemical containing only one type of element or
compound
Mixture - correct answer A combination of two or more substances that are not
chemically combined and not present in a specific, fixed ratio
heterogeneous mixture - correct answer A mixture in which pure substances are
unevenly distributed throughout the mixture
homogeneous mixture - correct answer A mixture in which substances are evenly
distributed throughout the mixture
macroscopic properties - correct answer The properties observed when a large
number of particles interact
microscopic properties - correct answer Properties at the small scale, such as
properties of atoms and molecules
Troposphere - correct answer The lowest layer of Earth's atmosphere where weather
occurs
