Unit 05: Force, Motion & Energy Practice

Front

What is force?

Back

A push or pull on an object that can cause it to move, stop, or change direction.

Front

What is motion?

Back

The change in position of an object over time.

Front

What is energy?

Front

What is gravity?

Back

A force that pulls objects toward each other, such as the Earth pulling objects toward its center.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

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

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

The energy an object has due to its motion.

Front

What is net force?

Back

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

Front

What happens when the net force on an object is zero?

Back

The object will remain at rest or move at a constant speed.
