What is acceleration?

• The speed of an object in a particular direction

• The capacity to do work

• The distance traveled divided by the time interval

• The rate at which velocity changes over time

What does kinetic energy refer to?

• The energy of an object because of its position

• The amount of work an object can do

• The energy of an object that is due to the object's motion

• The transfer of energy to an object by force

What is potential energy?

• The kinetic energy of a substance's atoms

• The energy that an object has because of the position, shape, or condition of the object

• The capacity to do work

• The energy due to an object's motion

What is mechanical energy?

• The rate at which velocity changes

• The energy of an object due to its motion and position

• The capacity to do work

• The amount of work an object can do because of the object's kinetic and potential energies

How is speed defined?

• The rate at which velocity changes over time
