Energy, Waves & Transformations

Front

What is net force?

Back

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

Front

What is the formula to calculate net force?

Back

Net Force = Force applied in one direction - Force applied in the opposite direction.

Front

What do waves transfer?

Back

Waves transfer energy from one place to another without transferring matter.

Front

What are unbalanced forces?

Back

Unbalanced forces are forces that cause an object to change its motion, resulting in acceleration.

Front

What is a longitudinal wave?

Back

A longitudinal wave is a type of wave where the motion of the particles is parallel to the direction of the wave.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

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

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

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

Front

How does energy transform in a roller coaster?

Back

In a roller coaster, potential energy is converted into kinetic energy as the coaster descends.

Front

What is the relationship between force and motion?

Back

A force applied to an object can cause it to start moving, stop moving, or change direction.

Front

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Back

Speed is the distance traveled per unit of time, while velocity includes both speed and direction.
