What is mechanical energy?
Analyze the circuit. There is only one path for energy to flow. What do we call this type of circuit.
What is a series circuit?
When light bends after passing through a medium.
What is refraction?
A student is conducting an investigation. They have five different surfaces that they are going to roll a marble over and measure the distance. What force are they most likely testing?
What is friction?
A piece of glass or other hard clear material molded with one side flat and the other curved or both sides curved that forms an image by bringing together or spreading the light that passes through it. We use these to make our glasses that help us to see.
