POWER OF TEN lists, rev. 9.26.17

POWER OF TEN

My POWER OF TEN lists are groups of 10 science terms.  In my study of physics and sports and games, etc.,  these words have stood out for me. They stand out  because  for the most part  they are terms, or concepts,  that we already understand in everyday life.  

Many of them are self-explanatory.  Others need a little explanation but can be easily understood.  To some extent these words are arranged here so that you can see their relationship to each other.  If you make up sets of 10 cards each, you will hold in your hand a solid start to gaining a working knowledge of physics and geometry.

Here is the POWER OF TEN.  
I believe that with these you will begin to have the power!

Power of Ten.1   Physics

energy                 motion                           gravity

forces of:  push,   pull,    turn  (torque)             inertia

collision (elastic and inelastic)           momentum

  center of mass / center of gravity                   buoyancy


Power of Ten.2   Geometry

plane           perpendicular ( T )            parallel

        angle of access / angle of reflection                  axis of rotation       

 trajectory

                                                     

Power of Ten.3   Sound and Light

frequencies        the electromagnetic spectrum
