Question
Answer
when an object stores energy because of its position, shape, or state. the object has the potential to do work   potential energy  
🗑
the energy assocated with a moving body, by virtue of its motion.   kinetic energy  
🗑
the splitting of the nucleus of a heavy atom into two main parts, accompanied by the release of much energy.   nuclear fission  
🗑
the combining of nuclei of light atoms to form heavier nuclei, with the release of much energy.   nuclear fusion  
🗑
probability per second that a given atom will fission spontaneously - that is without any external intervention.   spontaneous nuclear fission  
🗑
sound consists of molecules vibrating in rhythmic patterns: shake a group of molecules that, in turn, disturb others   sound  
🗑
a substance or material which carries the wave   medium  
🗑
originates from the motion of electrons within atoms   light  
🗑
radiant energy exists in the form of electromagnetic waves   electromagnetic waves  
🗑
a wave in which particles of the medium move in a direction perpendicular to the direction which the wave moves.   transverse waves  
🗑
heat is the flow of thermal energy due to a temperature difference   heat  
🗑
a wave can be descrived as a disturbance that travels through a medium from one location to another location   wave properties  
🗑
the range of all possible frequencies of electromagnetic radiation.   electromagnetic spectrum  
🗑
prtoms attract eelctrons and we have atoms. Electrons repel electrons and we have matter - because atoms don't mesh into one another   electricity  
🗑
can both attract and repel without touching, and the strenght of their interaction depends on the distance between them. Regions called magnetic pols give rigse to magnetic forces.   magnetism  
🗑
any path along which electrons can flow is a circuit   electric circuits  
🗑
an electric circuit with two or more devices connected in such a way that the smae voltage acts across each one, and any single one completes the cicuit independently of all the others   parallel circuit  
🗑
an electric circuit with devices connected in such a way that the same electric current exists in all of them   series circuit  
🗑
combination resistive circuits, otherwise known as series-parallel resistive circuits, combine resistors in series with resistors in parallel   series-parallel circuit  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
