Q

Why is the amount of potential energy at the top of a roller coaster I’ll is not the same as kinetic energy at the bottom of the hill

A

The energy at the bottom is slightly less because some was converted to hear by friction

25
What is the formula for wavelength
Wl= v/f
26
What is the formula for frequency
F = v/wl
27
What are the units for frequency, wavelength, and wave speed
Frequency= hz Wavelength= m Wave speed= m/s
28
What is it called when a wave bends as it goes from one medium to another
Refraction
29
List the energies of the electromagnetic spectrum in order from longest to shortest wavelength
Radio, tv, micro, infared, visible, ultraviolet, X-Ray, gamma
30
What is period
Period is how fast it takes for one wave to pass in seconds
31
What is frequency
Frequency is how many waves pass per second
32
What is the formula for frequency
1/p
33
What is the formula for period
1/f
34
What type of wave travels fastest in solids
Longitudinal
35
In music the term pitch is what
Frequency
36
What types of EM radiation are used to fight cancer
Gamma
37
What are ultrasounds used for and what type of waves do they use
Ultrasonic and to see babies and internal organs
38
What type of wave is harmful to our skin but also beneficial in small amounts
Ultraviolet, can cause burns or skin cancer but also gives us vitamin d
39
What is the Doppler effect
Change in frequency due to motion
40
Will sound intensity increase or decrease as you move closer to the noise
Increase
41
What is an echo
Reflection of sound wave odd a smooth surface
42
What is reflection
Waves bouncing off flat, smooth surface
43
Why do we hear thunder after the lightning flash
Sound is slower than light
44
Why is the sky blue
Small molecules scatter blue and violet light around up in the atmosphere. We don't see violet very well so it looks blue
45
Why are sunsets red
At sunset light travels through so much atmosphere to reach your eye that by the time it gets there all the blue has been scattered and only longer wave lengths get through.
46
What is current
Flow, more current= faster electrons
47
What is voltage
Electrical pressure ( how much energy each electron has) created by difference in electron pressure
48
What is resistance and give an example of a resistor
Opposition to the flow of electrons, an example is an insulator, wore thin or long
49
What is static electricity
Non flowing electrons
50
What is electric current
Flow of electron
51
What is coloumbs law
The force between the charges particles is directly proportional to amount of charge and inversely proportional to distance squared
52
What is coloumbs law formula
K= Q X Q ---------- D(2)
53
What does coloumbs law say about distance and strength of attractions between chargers
If the amount of charge on two particles doubled then force between them is twice as much, if the distance between two particles is doubled the force between them is 1/4 of what it was before
54
What happens to the strength of attraction between two charged particles if the distance is doubled
The force between them is 1/4 of what it was before
55
What if distance is cut in half
Then the force is four times as much
56
What if the strength of one charge doubles
Then the force is doubled
57
What if strength of both charges doubles
The force between them is quadrupled
58
What is a series
When it's one loop, only one path, If light is taken out then it doesn't work
59
What is a parallel
More than one path, If a light is taken out the others still light
60
What is energy
The ability to do work
