Front

What is a physical property of matter?

Back

A characteristic of matter that can be observed or measured without changing its composition, such as density, color, and hardness.

Front

What is NOT a physical property of matter?

Back

Reactivity, as it describes how a substance interacts with other substances, which involves a change in composition.

Front

What is a transverse wave?

Back

A wave in which the motion of the medium is perpendicular to the direction of the wave's travel.

Front

What is wavelength in a wave?

Back

The distance from one point on a wave to the next corresponding point, such as crest to crest or trough to trough.

Front

What is the role of radiation and convection from Earth's surface?

Back

They transfer thermal energy and power global circulation, affecting weather and climate.

Front

What is speed in physics?

Back

The change in position of an object per unit of time, calculated as distance divided by time.

Front

What is the formula for calculating speed?

Back

Speed = Distance / Time.

Front

What is the definition of wave speed?

Back

The speed of a wave is defined as the distance a point on a wave travels over time.

Front

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Back

Speed is a scalar quantity that refers to how fast an object is moving, while velocity is a vector quantity that includes both speed and direction.

Front

What is amplitude in a wave?

Back

The maximum distance that points on a wave, such as the crest or trough, move from their rest position.
