Object that has both magnitude and direction.

Has only magnitude and no direction.

Action that changes or maintain the motion of a body or object.

Vector sum of all forces that act upon an object.

Newton's 1st Law of Motion

Object at rest stays at rest, or in motion remains in motion at a constant velocity unless acted on by a net external force.

Newtons 2nd Law of Motion

F=ma or net force is equal to mass times acceleration

Newtons 3rd Law of Motion

for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction

quantity of matter within a given object

a measure of force that is equal to the gravitational pull of an object

the quantity of motion that an object has

property of matter which remains at the state of rest or in uniform motion in same straight line unless acted upon by an external force

a collision in which there is no net loss in kinetic energy in the system as a result of the collision

collision in which there is a loss of kinetic energy

quantity of energy transferred by the force to move an object

form of energy that an object or a particle has by a reason of its motion

Gravitational Potential Energy (GPE)

energy stored in an object as the result of its vertical position or height

Elastic Potential Energy (EPE)

energy stored as a result of applying a force to deform an elastic object

Law of Conservation of Energy

energy can neither be created or destroyed

a measure of the rate at which work is done

SI derived unit to measure energy or worked

time required for one complete cycle of vibration to pass a given point

number of waves that pass a given point in one second

a substance that can transmit energy

a disturbance in a medium that carries energy without a net movement of particles

Sound which extends below range for humans (20Hz-0.001Hz)

sound waves with frequencies greater than 20kHz

bouncing back of light when it strikes a smooth surface

bending of light rays when it travels from one medium to another

When a ray of light is reflected off a surface the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection

Total Internal Reflection

complete reflection of a ray of light within a medium such as water or glass from the surrounding surfaces back into the medium

Electromagnetic waves

form of radiation that travels through the universe

pressure that pushes electricity

a measure of the amount of electric charge in motion per unit of time

standard unit of electric charge un international system of units

loop through which something flows or travels

Circuit with all loads in a row

has 2 or more paths for current to flow through
