VA SOL 5.3 Force and Motion

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy that an object possesses due to its motion. All moving objects have kinetic energy.

Front

Give an example of kinetic energy.

Back

A man climbing a ladder is an example of kinetic energy.

Front

What kind of energy do all moving objects have?

Back

Kinetic energy.

Front

What happens to objects in motion unless acted on by a force?

Back

Objects in motion tend to stay in motion.

Front

What is the relationship between force and motion?

Back

With objects of the same mass, the greater the force applied, the greater the change in motion.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

Potential energy is the stored energy in an object due to its position or state.

Front

What is an example of potential energy?

Back

A book resting on a shelf has potential energy because of its position.

Front

What is the law of inertia?

Back

The law of inertia states that an object at rest will stay at rest, and an object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by a force.

Front

What is friction?

Back

Friction is a force that opposes the motion of an object.

Front

How does mass affect motion?

Back

The greater the mass of an object, the more force is needed to change its motion.
