  • Magnitude
    is the numerical value and standard unit
  • What is thermal enerrgy
    The total kinetic energy of the particles in a substance. Thy move faster in higher temps aand slower in lower
  • What is static electricity

    Is the result of an imbalance between negative and positive charges in an object
  • who discovered static electricity
    thales of miletus
  • it is the measure of the objects hotness or coldness
    temperature
  • quantities that are expressed by magnitude alone
    Scalar quantity
  • vector quantities
    are quantities expressed by magnitude with corresponding direction
  • What is the boling point in celsius?
    100C
  • Absolute zero of celsius
    273.15C
  • who discovered the electroscope
    william gilbert
  • benjamin franklin conducted what experiment?
    the kite experiment
  • 5m is
    scalar quantity
  • 30m\sec east is

    vector quantity
  • total ground covered
    distance
  • length between starting point to end point
    displacement
  • transfer of electrons from one uncharged object to another by rubbing
    charging by friction
  • example of friction

    hair and balloon
  • Thermal energy that flows between bodies or regions due to temperature difference
    Heat
  • transfer of heat by direct contact
    conduction
  • charging by conduction
    transferring charges from a charged to neutral body
  • convection
    transfer of heat thru actual physical movement of fluid
  • materials that allow charges to move easily thru them
    Conductors
  • charging method that charges an object without actually touching the object to any other charged object
    charging by induction
  • transfer of heat thru waves
    radiation
  • example of radiation
    microwaving your food
  • example of convection
    hot air balloon is being raisd by the hot gas from the fire
  • example of conduction
    using a metal stick thru the fire which transfers the heat from the stick to ur hand
  • material thru which a charge cannot move easily
    insulator
  • proton + attracts electron -
  • same forces repel
  • system in an electtrical network as a safety measure to protect human life and equipment
    earthing/grounding system
  • whats the importance of earthing system
    to provide an alernative path dor dangerous currents to flow so that accidents due to electric shock and damage can be avoided
  • juana travelled 20km and drove back 5km. the journey took 2 hours to complete, find the total distance travelled.
    25km
