Front

What is net force?

Back

The net force is the overall force acting on an object when all the individual forces are combined. It determines the object's motion.

Front

At which point is potential energy greatest?

Back

Potential energy is greatest at the highest point in a system, such as point W in a given scenario.

Front

What is matter that always fills the shape of a container?

Back

Gas is matter that fills the shape of its container, such as air.

Front

What kind of energy is in a stretched rubber band?

Back

Potential energy is stored in a stretched rubber band.

Front

Do particles in a liquid move around just as freely as particles in a solid?

Back

False. Particles in a liquid move more freely than those in a solid.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of an object in 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 difference between mass and weight?

Back

Mass is the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the force of gravity acting on that mass.

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

Force = mass x acceleration (F = m x a).

Front

What is the state of matter with a definite shape and volume?

Back

Solid is the state of matter that has a definite shape and volume.
