Forces, Motion, and Energy

Front

What is friction?

Back

Friction is the force that resists motion when two objects come in contact.

Front

Where does an object have the most potential energy?

Back

An object has the most potential energy at the highest point.

Front

What happens to potential energy when an object is raised?

Back

Raising an object increases its potential energy.

Front

What happens to kinetic energy when speed increases?

Back

Increasing speed increases kinetic energy.

Front

What is Newton's 1st Law also known as?

Back

Newton's 1st Law is also known as The Law of Inertia.

Front

What is motion?

Back

Motion is the change in position of an object over time.

Front

What is energy?

Back

Energy is the ability to do work or cause change.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy an object has due to its motion.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

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

Front

What is the relationship between mass and kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy increases with the mass of the object and the square of its speed.
