Work, Power and Waves Study Stack- Koch 7th Grade

QuestionAnswer
What is a wave? A wave is water that moves by particles thru a medium.
What is a medium? A Medium is a solid, liquid, or gas thru which a wave can travel.
Describe a transverse wave Is a wave that the particles move perpendicular to the direction the wave travels.
What is a crest? When a wave is at it's highest point.
What is a trough? A channel used to convey liquid.
Describe a longitudinal wave When the particles move the same direction as the wave.
What is compression? Is an area in a longitudinal wave where the particles are closest together.
What is a rarefaction? Is an area in a longitudinal wave where the particles are furthest apart.
Describe a mechanical wave A wave that requires a medium.
Describe an electromagnetic wave A wave caused by electromagnetic vibrations.
What is amplitude? The measure of how far the particles move in a medium.
Describe wave length The distance between two points of a wave.
Describe what a frequency is A number of waves past a point in a given time.
What are hertz? The measure of the total vibration in a wave.
What is wave speed? How fast or slow a wave travels.
What is force? Strength or energy as an attribute of movement.
What is work? Activity involving physical and mental effort done to achieve a result.
What is power? Physical strength and force exerted by something or someone.
John wanted to move a box. The box was 250 newtons and he moved the box 30 meters. How much work did John do? 7500 Joules.
Peter wanted to pick up his chair and bring it into the other room. He used 600 joules of work and it took him 25 seconds. How much power did he use? 15000 watts.
When you are trying to find power, what two things do you find first? Work and Time.
When you are trying to find work what two things do you need to find first? Distance and Force.
Which uses more power, running or walking up the stairs? Running
When a wave carries more energy is it a higher or lower amplitude? Higher Amplitude.
Two waves at the exact same height, one is low frequency the other is high, which one has more amplitude? The have the same amplitude.
Which wave deals with sound? Longitudinal wave.
Name the parts of a wave? Crest, trough, wavelength, amplitude, and frequency.
The SI unit for work is called? Joule
What does the line of equilibrium look like? As though it were at rest. No energy being transferred.
What is the medium for a sound wave? A solid, liquid or gas.

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.
