Front

What is energy conversion?

Back

Energy conversion is the process of changing energy from one form to another, such as chemical energy to heat energy.

Front

What is a spring tide?

Back

A spring tide is a tide that occurs when the sun, moon, and Earth are aligned, resulting in really high tides.

Front

What are balanced forces?

Back

Balanced forces are forces that are equal in size and opposite in direction, resulting in no change in motion.

Front

What are unbalanced forces?

Back

Unbalanced forces are forces that are not equal and opposite, causing an object to accelerate or change direction.

Front

How does speed affect kinetic energy?

Back

The faster an object moves, the more kinetic energy it has.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

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

Front

What happens during a high tide?

Back

During a high tide, the water level rises significantly, often covering more land.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy increases with mass; if two objects are moving at the same speed, the heavier object has more kinetic energy.

Front

What is the formula for kinetic energy?

Back

The formula for kinetic energy is KE = 1/2 mv², where m is mass and v is velocity.

Front

What is gravitational potential energy?

Back

Gravitational potential energy is the energy an object has due to its position in a gravitational field.
