1st Semester Spiral Review #1

Front

What is a transverse wave?

Back

A wave that vibrates the medium at right angles to the direction of the wave's travel.

Front

What does Newton's First Law state?

Back

An object at rest will remain at rest, and an object in motion will remain in motion unless acted upon by an external force.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

The tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion.

Front

In a transverse wave, how does the medium move?

Back

The medium moves perpendicular to the direction of the wave.

Front

How does the force of magnetism change with distance?

Back

The force of magnetism is stronger when magnets are closer together.

Front

What is a longitudinal wave?

Back

A wave in which the medium moves parallel to the direction of the wave's travel.

Front

What is the crest of a wave?

Back

The highest point of a wave.

Front

What is the trough of a wave?

Back

The lowest point of a wave.

Front

What is Newton's Second Law?

Back

The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass.

Front

What is Newton's Third Law?

Back

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
