23
Q

If you wanted to test energy efficiency with a solar panel what are three variables that you could test

A

Light amount, temperature, type of motor

24
Why is it important to test one variable at a time?
To get the most accurate results on each variable to come out with the best outcome
25
How to you calculate electrical power?
Power= current (input) x volts
26
How do you find percentage efficiency?
Bounce height -------------------- x 100 Drop height
27
What is a pulse?
A pulse is a single disturbance
28
What is a wave?
A wave is a repetitive motion
29
Why do waves need a medium?
Because it needs a material to disturb to send the wave
30
How do you figure out speed?
Distance Speed = ----------- Time
31
What is a sound wave?
A regular vibration passed through a medium to our ears, it is a longitudinal wave
32
How is a loud sound different from a soft sound?
Loud sounds vibrate more than soft sounds
33
What unit is sound frequency measured in?
Hurtz
34
What range of frequencies can humans hear on average?
20-20,000 Hz
35
What is the difference between high frequency sounds and low frequency sounds?
A high frequency sound has more vibrations per second compared to a lower frequency sound.
36
What unit is loudness measured in?
Decibels | dB
37
Situations that would give a 30dB sound?
Quiet room, no background noise
38
Situation that would give a 40dB sound?
Quiet room with background noise
39
Situation that would give a 50 dB sound
Quiet murmuring
40
Situation that would give a 60dB sound
Normal conversation
41
Situation that would give a 70dB sound
Louder talking
42
Situation that would give 80dB sound
Noisy working class room
43
Situation that would give a 90dB sound
Machinery
44
Situation that would give a 100dB sound
Loud concert
45
What are the important parts to label on an ear diagram and where do they go? Make sure you can draw an ear
Outer ear - ear canal Middle ear - ear drum, 3 ossicles, small window Inner ear - cochlea, auditory nerve (to the brain)
46
What are the symbols for a cell(battery), light globe, wires, ammeter and voltmeter along with series and parallel lights
