Term | Definition |
---|---|
Renewable Resources | Objects that are replenish able resources |
Nonrenewable Resources | Objects that are not replenish able resources. |
fossil fuels | non renewable resources that are used as fuel. |
Newton | measures amount of force (g), is used. |
Wave | a disturbance that transfers energy from place to place. |
Force | measurement of work |
Newton Meters | Measuring of amount of newtons per meter. |
Crest | highest point of a wave |
Trough | lowest point of a wave |
Medium | what a wave travels through |
Electromagnetic waves | a wave with no medium |
Mechanical waves | a wave with a medium |
Work calculations (formula) | force x distance |
Friction | property that causes objects to resist moving against each other. |
Four factors | roughness, size, hardness, weight/pressure |
Nuclear Energy | energy that comes from changes in the nucleus of the atom. |
Light Energy | produced by the vibrations of electrically charged particles |
Chemical Energy | energy of compound that changes as atoms are changed |
mechanical energy | energy in position and motion |
sound energy | energy caused by object vibrations |
electrical energy | energy of moving electrons |
thermal energy | the total charge of particles |

Wavelength | the distance between 2 corresponding parts of a wave |
rarefactions | in longitudinal waves in a spring, the parts where the coils are spread out are called rarefactions |
amplitude | the maximum distance of the particles of a medium |
