6G Unit 4 Test #2

Front

What happens to an object when unbalanced forces act on it?

Back

The object will move in the direction of the larger force.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

Potential energy is the energy stored in an object due to its position or state.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of an object in motion.

Front

How do you find the net force when multiple forces are acting on an object?

Back

Add the forces acting in the same direction and subtract the forces acting in the opposite direction.

Front

What is the net force if 8 N is applied to the left and 4 N to the right?

Back

The net force is 4 N to the left.

Front

What is the energy conversion when a skateboard moves down a hill?

Back

The energy conversion is from potential energy to kinetic energy.

Front

What type of energy does a compressed spring possess?

Back

A compressed spring has potential energy.

Front

What is the relationship between potential energy and height?

Back

Potential energy increases as the height of an object increases.

Front

What is the formula for calculating kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy (KE) = 1/2 mv², where m is mass and v is velocity.

Front

What is an example of balanced forces?

Back

An example of balanced forces is when two equal forces act on an object in opposite directions, resulting in no movement.
