AB
Average Atomic MassThe ratio of the average mass of atoms of an element (from a given source) to 1/12 of the mass of an atom of carbon-12.,
Chemical CompoundsCombinations of two or more elements also known as Atoms,
Constructive InterferenceThe interference that occurs when two waves combine to make a wave with a larger amplitude.,
Electrical EnergyThe energy of moving electrical charges.,
First Law of ThermodynamicsThe law expresses that energy can be transformed, i.e. changed from one form to another, but cannot be created nor destroyed.,
Halogen FamilyThe elements in Group 17 of the periodic tale.,
Instantaneous SpeedA scalar measure of the rate of movement of a body expressed either as the distance traveled divided by the time taken (average speed) or the rate of change of position with respect to time at a particular point (instantaneous speed). It is measured in meters per second, miles per hour, etc.,
LocomotionThe movement of the body from place to place.,
Molecular MotionHow molecules move in a gas very fast, and a solid very slow, molecules are always in motion,
Output ForceThe force exerted on an object by a machine.,
Powerthe rate of doing work measured in watts (= joules/second),
Second Law of ThermodynamicsAny of three principles variously stated in equivalent forms, being the principle that the change of energy of a thermodynamic system is equal to the heat transferred minus the work done (first law of thermodynamics), the principle that no cyclic process is possible in which heat is absorbed from a reservoir at a single temperature and converted completely into mechanical work (second law of thermodynamics), and the principle that it is impossible to reduce the temperature of a system to absolute zero in a finite number of operations (third law of thermodynamics).,
Strong BaseCommonly thought of as an aqueous substance that can accept hydrogen ions; that completely dissociates into ions in solution.,
Tyndall EffectThe phenomenon in which light is scattered by very small particles in its path,
WorkThe moving of an object oer a distance by a force.,
