Front

Newton's 1st Law

Back

Objects at rest will stay at rest and objects in motion will stay in motion.

Front

Newton's 2nd Law

Back

Force = mass (kg) x acceleration (m/s/s) = Newtons

Newton's 3rd Law

Back

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Front

Energy

Back

The ability to do work or cause change, measured in Joules.

Front

Efficiency

Back

The ease with which energy travels through a machine or system, measured as a percent of 100.

Front

Kinetic Energy

Back

Energy of motion.

Front

Potential Energy

Back

Stored energy due to position or condition.

Front

Mechanical Energy

Back

The sum of potential and kinetic energy in a system.

Front

Thermal Energy

Back

Energy associated with the temperature of an object.
