PHYSICS Flashcards
BALLISTIC MOVEMENT
Movements that are performed with maximal velocity and acceleration can be considered ballistic actions.
Ballistic actions are characterized by high firing rates, brief contraction times, and high rates of force development
SONOLUMINISCENCE
The phenomena in which a micron size gas bubble is both spatially trapped and oscillated by an acoustic field in such a way that on each compression of the bubble a small burst of light is emitted
CENTRIFUGAL FORCE
Intertial force appearing to act on all objects when viewed in a rotating frame of reference
GALE FORCE
A wind of force 7 to 10 on the Beaufort scale (45-90km/h)
MOIRE EFFECT
the superimpose of networks and lines
PERCUSSIVE SHOCK
THERMAL EXPANSION
ACCELERATED CORROSION
SIPHON
A tube that is bent in the shape of an n, with each in a separate container at 2 different levels so that liquid can be pulled into in from the higher container and go down on the lower one
PRO-‘JEC-TILE
Any object that once projected or dropped continues in motion by its own inertia and is influenced only by the downward force of gravity
QUARK-GLUON PLASMA
A state of matter in which the elementary particles that make up the hadrons of baryonic matter are freed of their strong attraction for one another under extremely high energy densities
QUARKS AND GLUONS - the building blocks of protons and neutrons, which in turn are the building blocks of atomic nuclei
SPECTROGRAPH
An instrument for dispersing radiation (as electromagnetic radiation or sound waves) into a spectrum and photographing or mapping the spectrum
