Unit 4 Review

Front

What is the place where a longitudinal wave is close together?

Back

Compression

Front

What kind of potential energy does a stretched rubber band have?

Back

Elastic Potential Energy

Front

Which point in a wave has the most potential energy?

Back

Point A

Front

What is the part of a longitudinal wave that is farthest apart?

Back

Rarefaction

Front

True or False: Because energy cannot be created or destroyed, when an object’s kinetic energy increases, its potential energy must decrease!

Back

True

Front

What is the definition of kinetic energy?

Back

The energy an object has due to its motion.

Front

What is the definition of potential energy?

Back

The energy stored in an object due to its position or state.

Front

What is the difference between elastic potential energy and gravitational potential energy?

Back

Elastic potential energy is stored in objects that can be stretched or compressed, while gravitational potential energy is stored in objects due to their height above the ground.

Front

What is a crest in a wave?

Back

The highest point of a wave.

Front

What is a trough in a wave?

Back

The lowest point of a wave.
