Newton's 3rd Law, Potential, and Kinetic Energy

Front

What is Newton's 3rd Law of Motion?

Back

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

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

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

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of an object in motion.

Front

What unit is used to measure force?

Back

Newton (N) is the unit of measurement for force.

Front

What is the formula for calculating kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic Energy (KE) = 1/2 mv², where m is mass and v is velocity.

Front

At which point does a pendulum have maximum potential energy?

Back

At the highest point of its swing.

Front

What is the unit of measurement for potential energy?

Back

Joules (J) is the unit of measurement for potential energy.

Front

Which has more potential energy: a bird in a tree or a car in a garage?

Back

A bird in a tree has more potential energy.

Front

What happens to potential energy as an object falls?

Back

As an object falls, its potential energy decreases while its kinetic energy increases.

Front

What is an example of potential energy?

Back

A stretched rubber band has potential energy.
