Science in Civilization: Exam 2

Ear Diagram

CHAPTER 4: Thermodynamics & Heat
Three States of Matter
1
...
Liquid – has vaporization point
3
...
Conduction = heat stored moved, one area
to other place
2
...
Radiation = energy as electromagnetic
waves or moving particles

Vibration – mass moving back & forth
Vibrations
Amplitude – how high and low wave goes
Cycle – one complete vibration
Period – time for one cycle
Periodic Movement – motion that repeats itself
Longitudinal Waves




waves moving in one direction
particles in medium move closer
together/farther apart
ex: sound waves

Evaporation – energy required to overcome phase

cohesion; higher energy molecules near the surface
can escape
Sound Waves
Condensation – gas molecules near the surface
1
...
Water

...

two points is directly proportional to the
Pattern reveals species of the fish
potential difference across the two points
• the resistance of a conductor
Echolocation – sends out vibrations (bi sonar)
ex: bat “calls out” to the environment and listens
for echos
...

CHAPTER 6: Electricity & Magnetism

Electric Current Symbols:

Electrical Current – a flow of charge that can be
either negative or positive
...
)
Transistor – a semiconductor device used to
amplify and switch electronic signals and
electrical power

Battery:

Static Electricity:
• the build up of charge
• transferring electrons
• temporarily stored in place
Electron = 1
...

Transformer - device that steps up or steps down
the AC voltage
Electric Generator – device that converts
mechanical energy into electrical energy
Solenoid – cylindrical coil made up of loops of
wire
