Front

What is conduction?

Back

Conduction is the transfer of heat through direct contact between materials. It occurs when faster-moving particles collide with slower-moving ones, transferring energy.

Front

What is displacement in physics?

Back

Displacement is a vector quantity that refers to the change in position of an object. It is the shortest distance from the initial to the final position, with a direction.

Front

Which electromagnetic wave has the highest energy?

Back

Gamma rays have the highest energy and can cause significant damage to living tissues.

Front

What does a negative slope on a distance-time graph indicate?

Back

A negative slope indicates that the object is returning to its starting location.

Front

What is the primary characteristic of aluminum?

Back

Aluminum is a lightweight, corrosion-resistant metal that is a good conductor of electricity and heat.

Front

What is convection?

Back

Convection is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids (liquids or gases). It occurs when warmer, less dense fluid rises and cooler, denser fluid sinks.

Front

What is radiation?

Back

Radiation is the transfer of energy through electromagnetic waves. It does not require a medium and can occur in a vacuum.

Front

What is the formula for calculating speed?

Back

Speed = Distance / Time.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of an object due to its motion, calculated as KE = 1/2 mv², where m is mass and v is velocity.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

Potential energy is the stored energy of an object due to its position or state, commonly gravitational potential energy, calculated as PE = mgh, where m is mass, g is acceleration due to gravity, and h is height.
