Circular Motion & Wave Vocab
24
rotation: object turning around an internal axis
revolution: object turning around an external axis
linear: speed of distance traveled per unit of time
tangential: linear speed of something moving in a circular motion
rotational: angular speed of rotations per unit of time
centripetal: force directed inward toward the center of an object in a circular path
torque: rotational acceleration produced by this turning force
axis: straight line around which rotation takes place
ellipse: type of path of each planet around the sun
foci: 2 fixed points inside an ellipse
Kepler: German astronomer who made 3 important discoveries about planetary motion
period: the time of the back and forth motion of a pendulum
crest: the high point on a wave
trough: the low point on a wave
amplitude: distance from the midpoint of vibration (equilibrium) and the crest or trough
wavelength: distance between successive identical parts of the wave
frequency: the # of vibrations an object makes in a unit of time
hertz: SI unit of frequency
longitudinal: type of wave when motion is perpendicular to the direction of the wave
transverse: type of wave when motion is parallel to the direction of the wave
constructive: interference increasing from with the crest of one wave overlapping the crest of another and wave
destructive: interference reducing from with the crest of one wave overlapping the trough of another
standing: wave that appears to stay in place
node: stationary points on a standing wave with zero displacement
antinode: points on standing waves with highest amplitude between nodes
