- 1The Law of Conservation of EnergyEnergy cannot be created or destroyed, only changed in form.
- 2InertiaA property of matter that causes any object to prefer its current state of motion, and resist changing it.
- 3Newton's First Law of MotionIn the absence of a force, an object will remain in its present state of motion-either at rest, or moving at a constant speed in the same direction.
- 4Newton's Second Law of MotionThe acceleration of an object is proportional to the force acting on it.
a = F/m
F = a x m - 5Newton's Third Law of MotionWhen one object pushes on another with a certain force, the second object pushes back on the first one with equal force.
- 6WaveA disturbance in space and time that carries energy from one place to another.
- 7The Law of ReflectionThe angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection.
- 8RefractionWhen passing from one medium to another, waves change direction (Refract) if the velocity of the wave is different in the two media.
- 9DiffractionThe bending and the spreading out of waves as they pass corners or obstructions.
- 10Ohm's LawV = I x R
The voltage difference is equal to the product of the current and resistance. - 11Ampere's LawA current-carrying wire produces a magnetic field around it, and the strength of the magnetic field is directly proportional to the current of the wire.
- 12Faraday's Law of Magnetic InductionA changing magnetic field near a coil of wire induces a current in the coil.

- Descrição
- This flashcard set is a compilation of all the scientific laws that we have learned this year, including both mathematic and worded laws. Some of the card are not acknowledged by the book as laws, but I decided to put them in anyway. Enjoy!
