ACCELERATION- is a vector quantity that is defined as the
rate at which an object changes its velocity.
ACCURACY- indicates the degree of closeness or proximity
between a measured value, or a series of observed values, with
the actual value of something.
AMPLITUDE- the maximum displacement or distance moved
by a point on a vibrating body or wave measured from its
equilibrium position.
ANTINODES- the point that represents the highest amplitude
in a pattern of constructive interference.
ARCHIMEDES- is a law of physics fundamental to fluid
dynamics.
ATOMIC MASS- the quantity of matter contained in an atom of
an element.
AVERAGE FORCE- is the force exerted by a body moving at a
defined rate of speed (velocity) for a defined period of time.
AVOGADRO'S LAW- a statement that under the same
conditions of temperature and pressure, equal volumes of
different gases contain an equal number of molecules.
BERNOULLI'S EQUATION- is a different way of the
conservation of energy principle, applied to flowing fluids.
BOLTZMANN'S CONSTANT- is the proportionality factor that
relates the average relative kinetic energy of particles in a gas
with the thermodynamic temperature of the gas.
BOYLE'S LAW- a statement in physics: the volume of a gas at
constant temperature varies inversely with the pressure
exerted on it.
BUNGEE CORD- is an elasticized cord used especially as a
fastening or shock-absorbing device.
BUNGEE JUMPING - is one of the high adrenaline rush and
adventurous act which involves lot of physics and calculations.
BUOYANT FORCE- is the upward force exerted on an object
that is wholly or partly immersed in a fluid.
