A | B |
kinetic energy | the energy of motion |
equilibrium | describes the wave at rest position |
wavelength | a measure from one point on a wave to the corresponding point on a wave; usually crest to crest |
crest | highest point on a wave |
trough | lowest point on a wave |
amplitude | the distance a wave rises or falls from its equilibrium |
Law of conservation of energy | energy can never be lost or gained, just transformed |
power | the rate of doing work |
work | uses energy and can create energy; calculated by multiplying force times distance |
potential energy | the energy of position; stored energy |
