Front

What are unbalanced forces?

Back

Unbalanced forces are two or more forces acting on an object that do not cancel each other out, causing the object to move.

What position on a ramp gives a ball the most potential energy?

Back

Position 4 gives the ball the most potential energy.

Front

Which position on a ramp causes a ball to roll the slowest?

Back

Position 1 causes the ball to roll the slowest and have the least kinetic energy.

Front

What is the relationship between height and potential energy?

Back

The higher an object is, the more potential energy it has.

Front

What causes a ball to move down a ramp?

Back

The combination of gravity pulling it down and the ramp pushing it at an angle creates unbalanced forces.
