|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| What is radioactivity? | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | The stream of high energy fast moving particles or waves that is found in our environment.
🗑
|
||||
| show | High energy rays and particles emitted by radioactive sources.
🗑
|
||||
| What is light? | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Different atoms of a particular element that have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons.
🗑
|
||||
| show | An integer that represents the sum of an atoms protons and neutrons.
🗑
|
||||
| show | straight line distance and direction from one point to another - change in position
🗑
|
||||
| distance | show 🗑
|
||||
| position | show 🗑
|
||||
| position-time graph | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | quantities that describe magnitude but do not include direction
🗑
|
||||
| slope | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | travelling in equal displacement in equal time intervals (neither speeding up, slowing down, nor changing direction)
🗑
|
||||
| vectors | show 🗑
|
||||
| average velocity | show 🗑
|
||||
| speed | show 🗑
|
||||
| velocity | show 🗑
|
||||
| acceleration | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | change that occurs when the speed of an object changes, or it's direction of motion changes, or both; calculated by subtracting initial velocity from final velocity
🗑
|
||||
| show | Acceleration that is opposite to the direction of motion. A decrease in the speed of the object.
🗑
|
||||
| show | Acceleration due to gravity in the absense of air resistance; the value of acceleration due to gravity near the surface of the earth is approx. 9.8 m/s squared downward.
🗑
|
||||
| show | A friction like force that opposed the motion of objects that move through the air.
🗑
|
||||
| average acceleration | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | velocity changing at a constant rate
🗑
|
||||
| show | Attractive force between two or more masses; causes objects to be pulled toward the center of earth
🗑
|
||||
| show | time on x-axis and velocity on y-axis
🗑
|
||||
| show | Heavy positively charged atomic particle (same combination of particles as the nucleus of a Helium atom)
🗑
|
||||
| show | a high speed electron emitted by a radioactive nucleus in beta-decay
🗑
|
||||
| show | rays of high energy, short wave-length radiation emitted from the nuclei of atoms
🗑
|
||||
| show | process in which the nuclei of radioactive parent isotopes emit alpha, beta, or gamma raditation to form decay products
🗑
|
||||
| show | the stable product of radioactive decay
🗑
|
||||
| show | a curved line on a graph that shows the rate at which radioisotopes decay
🗑
|
||||
| show | Time required for half of the nuclei in a sample of a radioactive isotope to decay
🗑
|
||||
| show | the isotope that undergoes radioactive decay
🗑
|
||||
| radiocarbon dating | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | an ongoing process in which fission reaction initiates the next reaction
🗑
|
||||
| show | A nuclear reaction in which a large nucleus breaks apart - creates energy

|
||||
| show | a process in which two low mass nuclei join together to make a more massive nucleus
🗑
|
||||
| nuclear equation | show 🗑
|
||||
| nuclear reaction | show 🗑
