| 616280606 | Newton's 1st law of motion | An object at rest/motion will remain at rest/motion until acted upon by an outside force | |
| 616280607 | Newton's 2nd law of motion | Force= mass x acceleration; the larger something is, the harder it is to move | |
| 616280608 | Newton's 3rd law of Motion | For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction | |
| 616280609 | Work | (physics) a manifestation of energy | |
| 616280610 | Power | (physics) the rate of doing work | |
| 616280611 | Energy | (physics) the capacity of a physical system to do work | |
| 616280612 | Sound | the particular auditory effect produced by a given cause | |
| 616280613 | kgm/s^2 | Newtons | |
| 616280614 | kgm^2/s^2 | Joules | |
| 616280615 | kgm/s | Momentum | |
| 616280616 | Impulse | change in momentum | |
| 616280617 | Momentum | the product of a body's mass and its velocity | |
| 616280618 | Vacuum | A place where no matter exists | |
| 616280619 | Pitch | Refers to the Subjective impression of "Highness" and "lowness" of a tone. High frequency is a high pitch tone and Low frequency is a low pitch tone. | |
| 616280620 | Loudness | measures the sound intensity of volume | |
| 616280621 | crest | the highest point in a transverse wave | |
| 616280622 | Constructive interference | will add together to produce a greater amplitude. | |
| 616280623 | destructive Interfenence | the waves will subtract from each other to form a smaller amplitude. | |
| 616280624 | amplitude | (physics) the maximum displacement of a periodic wave | |
| 616280625 | period | the amount of time it takes one wavelength to pass a point | |
| 616280626 | frequency | the number of occurrences within a given time period (usually 1 second) | |
| 616280627 | doppler effect | An increase (or decrease) in the frequency of sound, light, or other waves as the source and observer move toward (or away from) each other | |
| 616280628 | Velocity | speed with direction | |
| 616280629 | Acceleration | increase or change in velocity | |
| 616280630 | elastic collision | when 2 objects collide, they bounce apart. | |
| 616280631 | inelastic collision | when 2 objects collide, they stick together | |
| 616280632 | explosive collision | when 2 objects collide and they blow up!! | |
| 616280633 | Friction | when 2 objects slide against each other and slow each other down. | |
| 616280634 | kinetic friction | friction when the two objects slide against each other and keep moving. | |
| 616280635 | static friction | friction when the two objects slide against each other and don't move. | |
| 616280636 | force normal | perpendicular force to a surface. | |
| 616280637 | force normal equation | force normal=mass*gravity | |
| 616280638 | Kinetic energy | Energy due to motion | |
| 616280639 | potential energy | energy due to an object's location | |
| 616280640 | mechanical energy | kinetic energy added with potential energy | |
| 616280641 | chemical energy | energy in chemical bonds | |
| 616280642 | electrical energy | energy in a moving electron | |
| 616280643 | nuclear energy | energy from a moving longitudinal wave | |
| 616280644 | Light energy | energy from moving photons | |
| 616280645 | thermal energy | energy from heat | |
| 616280646 | alpha decay | when the atom loses a helium atom from it's nucleus | |
| 616280647 | beta decay | when the starting atom loses an electron | |
| 616280648 | gamma decay | the release of gamma rays from a nucleus, 0-0 no gain or loss of particles | |
| 616280649 | Isotopes | an atom with the same chemical properties as a normal atom, except with different amounts of neutrons which changes the atomic mass. | |
| 616280650 | Half life | the time required for something to fall to half its initial value (in particular, the time for half the atoms in a radioactive substance to disintegrate) | |
| 616280651 | Vector | something with magnitude AND direction | |
| 616280652 | Salar | Something with only magnitude | |
| 616280653 | Equilibrium | States that an object cannot accelerate, but maintains a constant velocity. | |
| 616280654 | Static | not moving | |
| 616280655 | dynamic | moving |
