Unit 4: Force Motion and Acceleration REDO

Front

What type of energy increases when you compress a spring?

Back

Elastic potential energy is the energy stored in a compressed spring.

Front

What are the two types of forces?

Back

Balanced and Unbalanced forces.

Front

What does Newton's third law state?

Back

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

Front

How will an object move if a force is applied to the right?

Back

The object will move to the right.

Front

What kind of energy is stored energy?

Back

Potential energy is stored energy.

Front

What is the definition of force?

Back

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

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object.

Front

What is the formula for calculating force?

Back

Force = Mass x Acceleration (F = m*a).

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of an object in motion.

Front

What happens to the potential energy of an object when it is lifted higher?

Back

The potential energy increases as the height increases.
