1. En bygning er en ____________. (building) 2. En bro forbinder to ________. (bridges) 3. En motor driver _____________. (machines) 4. En krets består av ____________. (circuits)
Solution: 1. En bygning er en **construct**. 2. En bro forbinder to **sides**. 3. En motor driver **engines**. 4. En krets består av **components**.
Physics Terminology[edit | edit source]
Physics is the study of matter, energy, and the interaction between them. It is a fundamental science that underlies many other scientific disciplines. Let's explore some common physics terms in Norwegian Bokmål:
Mechanics[edit | edit source]
Mechanics is the branch of physics that deals with the motion of objects and the forces that act upon them. Here are some important terms in mechanics:
| Norwegian Bokmål | Pronunciation | English Translation |
|---|---|---|
| Bevegelse | /bəˈveːgəlsə/ | Motion |
| Kraft | /krɑft/ | Force |
| Hastighet | /ˈhɑstɪgət/ | Velocity |
| Friksjon | /ˈfrɪksjɔn/ | Friction |
Thermodynamics[edit | edit source]
Thermodynamics is the branch of physics that deals with the relationship between heat, temperature, and energy. Here are some key terms in thermodynamics:
| Norwegian Bokmål | Pronunciation | English Translation |
|---|---|---|
| Varme | /ˈvɑrmə/ | Heat |
| Temperatur | /tɛmpərɑˈtuːr/ | Temperature |
| Entropi | /ɛnˈtrɔpi/ | Entropy |
| Trykk | /trʏk/ | Pressure |
Exercise: Physics Vocabulary[edit | edit source]
Now it's time to test your understanding of physics vocabulary in Norwegian Bokmål. Match the Norwegian Bokmål words on the left with their English translations on the right:
1. Bevegelse a. Temperature 2. Kraft b. Force 3. Hastighet c. Motion 4. Varme d. Velocity
Solution: 1. Bevegelse c. Motion 2. Kraft b. Force 3. Hastighet d. Velocity 4. Varme a. Temperature
