Physics 2019-2020
Across
- 2. German astronomer who figured out the relationship among a planet's orbital period and its average distance from the sun
- 5. when an object experiences changing acceleration
- 8. components wired in ___ share voltage and have the same current
- 10. how quickly an object's speed or direction changes
- 13. transfer of energy between two objects at different temperatures
- 16. -273.15 degrees Celsius; temperature at which all particle motion would completely stop
- 18. state in which the net force on an object is zero (zero or constant velocity); or, in thermodynamics, when two objects in contact have the same temperature
- 19. in a vacuum, the ___ is the same for all observers no matter what they're doing
- 21. a measurement that has both magnitude and direction
- 22. final position compared to initial position; example = 18 meters south
- 25. motion of an object when only gravity acts on it; causes object to accelerate at -9.80 m/s^2 near Earth's surface
- 26. measure of energy required to make a substance undergo a phase change
- 28. tendency of an object to maintain its current state of motion
- 29. a transfer of energy; product of force and distance
Down
- 1. how difficult it is to change a substance's temperature; thermal inertia
- 3. to calculate the work done on or by a gas, multiply the ___ by the change in volume
- 4. rate at which charges pass through a certain area; measured in amperes
- 6. rate of change of position
- 7. action exerted on an object that may change the object's state of motion
- 8. measure of how stiff a stretchable/compressible object is
- 9. electric ___ is a measure of how much work has to be done to move a charge relative to the magnitude of the charge
- 11. thermodynamic process marked by rapid compression/expansion of gas and no heat transfer
- 12. rate at which work is done or energy is transformed
- 14. measure of a substance's particles' average kinetic energy
- 15. measured in ohms, it's the opposition to electric current
- 17. according to the 2nd law of thermo, the universe's ___ - or disorder - constantly increases
- 20. the coefficient of friction is the ratio of the amount of frictional force to the ___ force for two solid objects in contact with each other
- 23. thermodynamic process that takes place without a temperature change
- 24. product of mass and velocity; is conserved when 2 objects collide
- 27. measure of heaviness, or how much force gravity is exerting on an object
