VA SOL 5.2 & 5.3 Force, Energy, Motion Review

Front

What is friction?

Back

Friction is a force that opposes the motion of an object. It occurs when two surfaces rub against each other.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

Potential energy is the energy stored in an object due to its position or condition. For example, a rock at the top of a hill has potential energy.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of an object in motion. The faster an object moves, the more kinetic energy it has.

Front

How does the height of an object affect its potential energy?

Back

The higher an object is, the more potential energy it has because it has the potential to fall.

Front

What is the relationship between force and motion?

Back

Force is a push or pull that can cause an object to move or change its motion.

Front

What happens to kinetic energy when an object slows down?

Back

When an object slows down, its kinetic energy decreases.

Front

What is an example of an object with high kinetic energy?

Back

A speeding car is an example of an object with high kinetic energy.

Front

What is an example of an object with high potential energy?

Back

A drawn bowstring is an example of an object with high potential energy.

Front

What is the effect of friction on a moving sled?

Back

Friction slows down the sled as it moves along the track.

Front

What is motion?

Back

Motion is the change in position of an object over time.
