the greatest displacement of an oscillator from its equilibrium position
amplitude
1 of 9
a material which conducts electricity well on account of having many free charge carriers
conductor
2 of 9
Physical behaviour cannot depend on 'absolute velocity' - physical laws must take the same form for all observers, no matter what their state of uniform motion in a straight line
Einstein's first postulate
3 of 9
the constant of proportionality R in the ideal gas equation for one mole of gas
gas constant

the energy that must be supplied to a neutral atom or molecule ot ionise it
ionisation energy
5 of 9
an uncharged lepton of insignificant mass, anti-* are released in beta-minus decay
neutrino
6 of 9
when a material deforms in a way which means it undergoes permanent stretching or distortion before breaking
plastic deformation
7 of 9
total entropy never decreases
