1. ATOM The smallest particle of an element that has all of the elements chemical properties 2.

BUOYANT FORCE The net upward force that a fluid exerts on an immersed object 3. CAPILLARITY The rise of a liquid in a fine, hollow tube or in a narrow space 4. DIRECT CURRENT Electrically charged particle flowing in one direction only 5. ELECTRON The negatively charged particle in an atom 6. FARSIGHTEDNESS is caused when the human eyeball is too short or its lens is too thin 7. GAMMA RAY High-frequency electromagnetic radiation emitted by the nuclei of radioactive atoms 8. HALF-LIFE The time required for half the atoms in a sample of radioactive isotopes to decay

9. ISOTOPES Atoms whose nuclei have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons 10. JERKED The mass of the ball 11. KILOGRAM The fundamental SI unit of mass 12. LIFTING It against gravity (weight), however, is something else 13. MIXTURE Substance whose components are mixed together without combining chemically 14. NEUTRON The electrically natural particle in an atomic nucleus 15. OPAQUE The term applied to materials that absorb light without reemission and thus through which light cannot pass 16. PROTON The positively charged particle in an atomic nucleus 17. QUANTUM MECHANICS

The theory of the small-scale world that includes predicated wave properties of matter

18. RESULTANT The net result of a combination of two or more vectors 19. SPEED How fast something moves 20. TEMPERATURE A measure of the average translational kinetic energy per molecule in a substance 21. ULTRASONIC Describes a sound that has a frequency too high to be heard by the normal human ear 22. VECTOR An arrow drawn to scale used to represent a vector quantity 23. WEIGHT Force due to gravity on an object 24. X-RAY Electromagnetic radiation of higher frequencies than ultraviolet emitted by electron 25. YIN One side of the circle

26. ZERO-POINT ENERGY Extremely small amount of kinetic energy that molecules or atom have even at absolute zero
