Benchmark 2

This is energy of position; it increases with height

Energy of motion; causes objects to move

Energy that travels in transverse waves across space; carries light and heat

SI unit for measuring any type of energy

Heat; Q=mc^T

Travels in compressional waves; has to have a medium, can cause deafness

Energy stored in chemical bonds; photosynthesis or respiration in animals are examples

Fusion/Fission; involves either smashing atoms together to make larger atoms, or splitting the atom apart into 2 smaller atoms

State of matter with particles close together, moving in fixed positions, holds its own shape

This state of matter has a definite volume, but it takes the shape of the container

State of matter that has an indefinite volume, indefinite shape, and particles spread apart from each other quickly

State of matter where particles move extremely fast, loses electrons, and produces its own light and heat

The temperature at which the motion of atoms, particles, and electrons stop

This explains that the particles of matter move and the warmer the temperature, the quicker the particles move.

The faster a fluid flows; the less pressure. The slower a fluid flows, the greater the pressure. Explains why airplanes fly.

The buoyant force on an object in a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. Explains why an object will sink or float.

Hydraulic machines work in accordance with this principle about the pressure of fluids; when pressure is applied to a fluid, it spreads throughout the fluid.

This equals mass divided by volume

The upward force exerted by a fluid that helps an object float,

This equals force divided by area.

The amount of a liquid normally measured in mL or L.

When you squeeze the coils of a spring or slinky together, you create this type of wave

These type of waves have the ability to move through outer space

Both compressional and transverse
