Science Midterm
Energy
the ability to cause change
Kinetic Energy
energy in motion
Potential Energy
energy at rest
Law of Conservation
energy cannot be created nor destroyed
Periodic Table
organizes the 118 elements that make up everything
Balanced Forces
equal in net force
Unbalanced Forces
unequal net force
Newton's 3rd law
for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction
Calculating Force
F=ma(mass*acceleration
Calculating Gravitational Potential Energy
GPE=mgh(mass*gravity constant*height)
Calculating kinetic Energy
KE=1/2mv2(1/2*mass*velocity2
Mechanical Wave
transfers energy through a material called a medium
Transverse Wave
the disturbance is moving in different directions
Longitudial Wave
the disturbance moves in the same direction
