Five cards from this deck

Taken from the published archive, unedited. A deck page that shows no card says nothing.

  • Front accelerate
    Back to change velocity; to speed up, slow down, or change direction.
  • Front angular momentum
    Back the measure of the motion of a rotating object in terms of its speed and how widely the object’s mass is distributed around its axis
  • Front aphelion
    Back the point in its orbit where a planet (or other orbiting object) is farthest from the Sun
  • Front apogee
    Back the point in its orbit where an Earth satellite is farthest from Earth
  • Front apparent magnitude
    Back a measure of how bright a star looks in the sky; the larger the number, the dimmer the star appears to us

This deck was modified when it was brought in: Entries were taken from the end-of-chapter glossaries of chapters 2, 3, 4 and gathered into one deck; the chapter structure of the book is not reproduced. HTML formatting was stripped to plain text, and superscripts and subscripts were converted to the corresponding Unicode characters so that a charge or an index is not lost (H⁺, not H+; T₄, not T4). An entry was dropped when its definition is shorter than 30 characters or longer than 400 characters, when it contains an image, a table or a mathematical formula that is not reproduced here, when it refers to a figure, a table or another chapter, when it is dated by wording such as "currently" or "as of", when it is a bare cross-reference to another term, or when a superscript could not be converted faithfully. Duplicates were removed on the term and on the definition alike, both compared after lowercasing, removing parentheses and reducing plurals to singulars; a term or a definition already used by another Memoquiz deck built from OpenStax was dropped as well. Each deck is capped at 150 entries and holds at least 30. The wording of every definition that was kept is unchanged.
