Q

What happens to speed of an object going down passing water?

A

An object falling through a fluid initially accelerates due to the force of gravity. Eventually the resultant force will be zero and the object will move at its terminal velocity.

Q

Explain what what happens when force applied to break and how it slows down the car?

A

work done by the friction force between the brakes and the wheel reduces the kinetic energy of the vehicle and the temperature of the brakes increases.

Transfer energy from one place to another.

32
Q

What is the movement of waves up and down called?

A

Oscillation

33
Q

What is a key fact for transversal waves?

A

The oscillation is perpendicular to the direction of energy transfer.

34
Q

Give an example of transversal and longitudal waves.

A

Transversal:Ripple on water surface.
Longitudal:sound waves travelling through air

35
Q

What is a key fact for transversal waves?

A

Oscillaton are parallel to direction of energy transfer.

36
Q

What do all longitudanal waves require?

A

A medium to travel in( air , liquid or solid)

37
Q

What is amplitude of wave?

A

The amplitude of a wave is the maximum displacement of a point on a wave away from its undisturbed position.

38
Q

What is the wave lenght of a wave?

A

The distance from a point on one wave to the equivalent point on the next wave.

39
Q

What is the compression and rarefaction on longitudinal waves?

A

Compression is where waves are compact close together and rarefcation are where waves are spread out.

40
Q

What is frequency of waves?

Speed at which waves move through medium

44
Q

What type of waves are electromagnetic waves?

A

Transverese Waves.

45
Q

What do electromagnetic waves do?

A

Transfer energy from source of the waves to an absorber.

46
Q

List the order of Waves from longer Wavelenght low frequency to short wavelenght high frequency.

A

Radiowaves, Microwave I,nfared ,Visible light ,Ultraviolet, Xray ,Gamma ray

47
Q

What is acronym for list of waves.

A

Raw meat is very unsanitart eXcept girrafe.

48
Q

What can Waves do when they change speed,move from one medium to another

A

Change Direction

49
Q

When waves slow down where do they bend forward ?

A

Towards the normal

50
Q

When waves Speed up where do they bend forward ?

A

Away from the normal

51
Q

When electromagnetic waves are generated or absorbed what happens to atom or nuclei.

A

Changes take place in the atom or nuclie

52
Q

What happens when we heat atom.

A

Cause electron to move from one energy level to a higher one .When electron returns it generated electromagnetic waves.

53
Q

How does gamma rays orginate.

A

Gamma rays originate from changes in the nucleus of an atom.

54

What 3 ways are hazerdous?

A

Ultraviolet waves, X-rays and gamma rays

55
Q

What do ultraviolet waves do?

A

cause skin to age prematurely and increase the risk of skin cancer

56
Q

What are/do xray and gamma rays do?

A

X-rays and gamma rays are ionising radiation that can cause the mutation of genes and cancer.

57

A

electrical heaters, cooking food, infrared cameras

60
Q

What are ultraviolet used for?

A

energy efficient lamps, sun tanning

61
Q

What are visible light used for?

A

fibre optic communications

62
Q

What are X-rays and gamma rays used for?

A

medical imaging and treatments.

63
Q

How can radiowaves be produced?

A

When electron osscilate in electrical circuits they produce radiowaves.These radiowaves can be absorbed by e.g(an electrical circuit in an aerial).This causes electrons in in the circuit to osscilate..This creates an alternating current with the same frequency as radiowaves.

64
Q

What is a permament magnet.

A

A permanent magnet produces its own magnetic field

65
Q

What is an induced magnet.

A

An induced magnet is a material that becomes a magnet when it is placed in a magnetic field

66
Q

Induced magnets will always cause.

A

A force of attraction.
