  • Distance - It is the total path length taken by an object from one point to another
  • Displacement - It is defined as the shortest length between two points.
  • Speed - It tells how fast an object is moving with respect to time.
  • Velocity - It tells how fast an object is moving in a certain direction with respect to time.
  • Distance - It is the total path length taken by an object from one point to another
  • Displacement - It is defined as the shortest length between two points.
  • to solve for distance, you need to add up the total path taken and the total distance travelled
  • to solve for displacement, sum the initial position and the finale position
  • to solve for the speed, you must divide the distance and time
  • to solve for velocity, you need to divide distance and time
  • Scalar Quantities - Distance Speed Mass Temperature
  • Vector Quantities - Displacement Velocity Force Acceleration
  • Distance are defined with length (Kilometer, Meter, Miles, Centimeter)
  • A waves carries energy from one point to another.
  • Mechanical waves require a medium for them to travel.
  • Transverse waves is a wave in which a medium vibrates in a direction Perpendicular to the direction of the traveling particle.
  • The distance between identical parts of the wave is called wavelength
  • The Amplitude refers to the distance from midpoint to the crest or from midpoint to the trough of the wave
  • Wave Propagation is the movement of waves through a medium or vacuum.
  • Electromagnetic Waves dont require a medium
  • Mechanical Waves needs a medium or a matter
  • Transverse Waves is a waves up and down direction
  • Longitudinal Waves is a waves that form vibration moves parallel to the direction of the travel.
  • Crest - Highest point of the wave
  • Wavelength - The distance between identical parts of the wave
  • Equilibrium - The origin position of a medium
  • AMPLITUDE - refers to the distance from midpoint to the crest or from midpoint to the trough of the wave
  • Trhough - Lowest point of the wave
  • Frequency (f) - shows how frequent a vibration takes place.
  • Amplitude – maximum displacement of a point of a wave from its rest position
  • Sound wave is the vibration that travel through any medium and can be heard
  • A Sound is classified as a mechanical and a longitudinal wave
  • How Do Human and Other Organisms Produce Sound? This is because of your vocal cords in the larynx (voice box).
  • Men have a vocal cord length of 20 mm, whereas women have a shorter vocal cord of 15 mm. Children have the shortest vocal cords in comparison to adults.
  • Animals produce sound as well. They use sound for communicating, for attracting mates, and for defending themselves.
  • Loudness is how loud or soft the sound relative to a listener
  • Intensity is the measure of the amount of energy used to produce the vibration in the medium.
  • Pitch refers to the highness and lowness of sound.
  • LIGHT - Is a form of energy found in our surroundings.
  • Light travels in a straight line
