What does it mean for a quatity to be conserved?
Energy is not lost in a chemical process; this is the law of energy conservation.
What does it mean to describe something as being quantized?
From wiki: Quanta is the minimum amount of any physical entity involved in an interaction. Behind this, one finds the fundamental notion that a physical property may be "quantized," referred to as "the hypothesis of quantization. This means that the magnitude can take on only certain discrete values. There is a related term of quantum number. An example of an entity that is quantized is the energy transfer of elementary particles of matter (called fermions) and of photons and other bosons.
Which physical quantity is related to intersia?
I assume you mean "inertia". That is related to mass.
Name a physical quantity that varies?
By "physical" quantity, I will "assume" you mean directly measurable. 1. Kinetic Energy 2. Temperature 3. Velocity 4. Heat 'content' 5. Radioactivity 6. Luminescence
What does conserved mean?
protected and maintained
What does property defining physical quantity mean?
mass

What does it mean when energy is quantized?
when it is said that energy is quantized, it means that...you can have X, 2X, 3X, 4X, etc. energyyou can't have 1.5X, 2.2X. 3.9X, piX, etcHOPE THIS HELPS:)
What does it mean when a patient is conserved?
when a paient is concerved that means
What does it mean for light to be quantized?
It is a divison of sorts... think of a checker board. When you move the pieces you move one space forward or one space back. The starting and ending postion of the piece could be considered the quantized existance of the piece. Motion and time on the otherhand are generally considered continous or flowing. Going back to the checkerboard, as you move the piece from one space to the next, you have to pass ever place inbetween. The checker doesn't just disappear and reappear. In science, as particles get smaller and smaller they stop behaving by the same rules as larger masses. Their motion and existance can become quantized--for instance in chemistry when talking about electron states, it is useful to think of the electrons existing at quantized states or enegery levels.
What is the physical quantity measured under a speed time graph?
If you mean 'measured by the area under the speed/time graph' then this is total distance travelled.
