Physics Concepts

Front

mass

Back

A measure of the amount of matter in an object, typically in kilograms or grams.

Front

potential energy

Back

The energy possessed by an object due to its position or condition, such as height above the ground.

Front

kinetic energy

Back

The energy an object possesses due to its motion, calculated as 1/2 mass times velocity squared.

Front

velocity

Back

The speed of an object in a particular direction, measured in meters per second (m/s).

Front

height

Back

The measurement of an object's elevation or distance above a reference point, often the ground.

Front

distance

Back

The length of the path traveled by an object, regardless of its starting or ending point.

Front

force

Back

An interaction that changes the motion of an object, measured in newtons (N).

Front

work

Back

The energy transferred to or from an object via the application of force along a displacement, calculated as force times distance.

Front

energy

Back

The capacity to do work or produce change, existing in various forms such as kinetic, potential, thermal, etc.

Front

time

Back

A measure of the duration of events and the intervals between them, typically measured in seconds, minutes, or hours.
