Energy Transfer & Transformation [Ch. 1-3]

Front

What is speed?

Back

A measurement of the distance an object travels over a certain amount of time.

Front

What is motion?

Back

The process of an object changing position.

Front

What does a steep slope indicate in terms of speed?

Back

A steep slope means more speed.

Front

True or False: The slower an object is moving, the greater its motion energy.

Back

False.

Front

How do people use the energy of motion?

Back

Through tools like hammers and nails, wind turbines, and pendulum clocks.

Front

What is energy?

Back

The ability to do work or cause change.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

The energy an object has due to its motion.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

The stored energy in an object due to its position or state.

Front

What is the relationship between speed and kinetic energy?

Back

As speed increases, kinetic energy increases.

Front

What is the formula for calculating speed?

Back

Speed = Distance / Time.
