Forces, Motion, and Energy

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

A change in the speed in which an object moves.

Front

Where does an object have the most potential energy?

Back

At the highest point.

Front

What effect does more friction have on an object's acceleration?

Back

It causes the object to have a slower acceleration.

Front

What does the Law of Conservation of Energy state?

Back

Energy cannot be created or destroyed, but energy can change from one form to another.

Front

What is a force that resists or works against motion?

Back

Friction.

Front

Define force.

Back

A push or pull on an object that can cause it to change its motion.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

The energy an object has due to its motion.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

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

Front

What is the relationship between mass and gravitational force?

Back

The greater the mass of an object, the greater the gravitational force it exerts.

Front

What is inertia?

Back

The tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion.
