    • 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
