Billy was blowing up some balloons for his sister's birthday party. Sally, his sister, grabbed a balloon and rubbed it on his head. Billy's hair began to stick up in little spikes all over his head!

Kinetic energy

In a ceiling fan, electrical energy, N, is transferred to another form, M. Energy transfers are never 100% efficient. Some of the energy is "wasted" as heat. To what form is the electrical energy (N) transferred (M) to allow the cowling fan to function?

The force is much less when bunting into the in-field

In baseball, a home run means the batter has hit the baseball into the stands, beyond the baseball field. Compare the force of the batter when bunting the ball into the in-field versus hitting a home run.

sound and vibrations travel faster through solids than gases

In the old west, a cowboy would put their ear on the railroad track to determine if a train was coming. Using this method, they could fall if the train was coming sooner than just listening for the train. A good explanation for this would be that sound travels faster in ___ than gases.

List in order of energy the states of matter

Has a bigger amplitude

Looking at the diagram showing two waves. Notice, wave A is taller and wave B is thinner. Wave A ___

has a shorter amplitude and wavelength

Looking at the diagram showing two waves. Notice, wave A is taller and wave B is thinner. Wave B ___

in a straight line

Newton's first law of motion tells us that an object will move ____ unless acted on by an unbalanced force.

Car

Newton's second law can be expressed as a mathematical formula for the same amount of force needed to accelerate an object. It is that force equals mass times acceleration, or, F=ma. James is trying to prove Newton's second law of motion. He tries to move four different objects with different masses, shapes, and sizes from point A to point B. The objects are a toy car, a car, a refrigerator, and a kitchen table. After some experimentation, he finds that force is dependent on the mass of the object, rather than it's size or shape. The object that takes the most force to move is the ____

potassium

Potassium is a metal and a ___ at room temperature.

Electrons

Static charges can be applied to neutral objects by friction, induction or conduction. What do all of those methods utilize to create this charge?
