science Flashcards
what is the si unit of measurment for energy
joule
which is also referred to as the energy of postition
potential energy
which is the formula for gravitional potentional energy
gpe=wxh
what type of energy is the avergae sum of the kinetic energies of all the particles in an object
thermal energy
which term refers to the repetitive back and forth motion that particles in acoustic energy travel in
oscillation
which type of energy uses the electrical charges in atoms
electrical energy
which type of energy uses the electromagnetic spectrum
magnetic energy
which type of energy is found in the chemical bonds of compounds
chemical energy
which equation is associated with mass energy
E=mc2
when small nuclei of atoms are smashed together it is called
fussion
which law of thermodynamics states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed only changed
first law of thermodynamics
what type of collision occurs when two objects collide and rebound with no defromation
elastic collision
a car acciden is a good example of which type of ollision
partially elastic collision
which type of momentum describes a sytem moving on a straight path
linear momentum
if two objects stick together after a collision then the collision is
inelastic collision
the operation definition of blank is the ability to do work
energy
what tpye of energy is energy of motion
kinectic
list one of the diffrences between acoustic and thermal enrgy
one has to do with temperature and the other sound
which type of energy is associated with the nucleus of an atom
nuclear energy
which type of nuclear energy occurs when the nucleous of an atom is split apart
fision
what is the abundant form of potential energy in the universe
mass energy
what does the law of the conservation of energy state
energy can neither be created nor destroyed only changed`
what is the formula for momentum
p=mxv
what occurs when a force acts on an object to move it in a direction parallel to the force vector
mechincal work
which is known as the rate of doing work
power
the advantage that simple machines give us is known
mechincal advantage
which principle states that to conserve work and energy simple machines compensate for a smaller effort force by exerting that force over a longer distance
distance principle
