Force Motion Energy (SOL)

Front

What is Kinetic Energy?

Back

Kinetic Energy is the energy an object has due to its motion. The faster an object moves, the more kinetic energy it has.

Front

What is Potential Energy?

Back

Potential Energy is the stored energy in an object due to its position or state. For example, a ball held at a height has potential energy.

Front

What is Friction?

Back

Friction is a force that opposes the motion of an object when it comes into contact with another surface.

Front

What force causes objects to fall to the ground?

Back

Gravity is the force that pulls objects toward the Earth, causing them to fall.

Front

What is the relationship between force and motion?

Back

Force is a push or pull that can cause an object to move, stop, or change direction.

Front

What is Inertia?

Back

Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion. An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by a force.

Front

What is the formula for calculating Force?

Back

Force (F) is calculated using the formula F = mass (m) x acceleration (a).

Front

What is Speed?

Back

Speed is the distance an object travels per unit of time. It is a measure of how fast an object is moving.

Front

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Back

Speed is a scalar quantity that only includes how fast an object is moving, while velocity is a vector quantity that includes both speed and direction.

Front

What is Energy?

Back

Energy is the ability to do work or cause change. It exists in various forms, including kinetic and potential energy.
