Work, waves, power

QuestionAnswer
Define Crest The highest point of a transverse wave
What is the Trough The lowest points of a transverse wave
Describe Rarefaction When the coils spread apart
Define Frequency Number of waves that pass a point in a given amount of time
What does wavelength mean Distance from any point on a wave to the next identical point on the same wave
Define wave speed The speed that waves travel
What is Amplitude A measure of how far particles in the medium move from their rest position.
What is power Rate at which work is done
What is work When an object moves through a distance
Define Force A push or a pull on an a object in order to change the motion of the object
What is a longitudinal wave Particles move perpendicularly to the direction the wave is moving
Describe compression When the coils squish together
What is a Longitudinal wave When particles of the medium move back and forth compared to the direction the wave is traveling
Explain Electromagnetic waves Vibrations of electric and magnetic fields
What is a Mechanical wave Waves that require a medium
What is a wave A travling disturbance that carries energy through space and a medium without transferring matter
Define Medium A material which a wave can travel through
Describe Hertz It is equal to on cycle per second
Calculate work F=500 newton's D= 90 meters W= ? Formula= F times D= W 500n times 90m= 45,000 jouls
Calculate Power W=110 T=3.8 sec P=? Formula= P= W divided by T 110 J divided by 11 sec= 10 P
If 190 Joules of work are needed to move a table a distance of 5 meters what is the weight of the table ? 38
A baby weghining 20 N gets on a baby ride the ride lifts the baby 7 m in 15 seconds how much power was used. 9.3 P
How much time is needed to produce 500 Joules of work if 60 watts of power is used 8.3
Where is the Trough located on a wave bottom
Where is the Crest located on a wave top
Where is the Amplitude on a wave middle

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
