KL 6th Grade Energy

The overall force acting on an object when all the individual forces are combined.

The energy an object possesses due to its motion.

The energy stored in an object due to its position or state.

An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by a net external force.

The greater the mass of an object, the greater the gravitational force it exerts.

Force = mass × acceleration (F = ma).

A force that opposes the motion of an object.

The kinetic energy decreases as the object's speed decreases.

Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another.

A rock held at the top of a hill has potential energy due to its height.
