HVES Force, Energy and Motion Review

Front

What is a force?

Back

A force is a push or a pull that causes an object to move.

Front

What happens to motion when a greater force is applied?

Back

The greater the force, the greater the change in motion.

Front

Which object requires the greatest amount of force to change its motion: baseball, school desk, pick up truck, or canoe?

Back

Pick up truck.

Front

What type of energy is energy in motion?

Back

Kinetic energy.

Front

What is friction?

Back

Friction is a force that opposes motion between two surfaces in contact.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

Potential energy is stored energy based on an object's position or state.

Front

How does friction affect motion?

Back

Friction makes it harder for objects to move, slowing them down.

Front

What is the relationship between force and motion?

Back

Force causes changes in motion; without force, an object will not change its state of motion.

Front

What is an example of kinetic energy?

Back

A rolling ball or a moving car.

Front

What is an example of potential energy?

Back

A book on a shelf or a drawn bow.
