4.
What is potential energy?
a)
When an object has potential energy, it has energy stored in it waiting to do the work.

When an object has kinetic energy, it is moving. It is active energy.
c)
the act or process of moving from one locationto another
d)
Our greatest source of energy
5.
What is kinetic energy?
a)
When an object has potential energy, it has energy stored in it waiting to do the work.

When an object has kinetic energy, it is moving. It is active energy
c)
The tendency ofobjects to remain in motion
d)
Newton’s Laws
6.
What is motion?
a)
the act or process of moving from one locationto another.
b)
Energy stored in it waiting to do the work.

7.
What is inertia?
a)
Active energy
b)
Stored energy
c)
The tendency of objects to remain in motion or at rest.
d)
A push or a pull
8.
What is force?
a)
A push or a pull that can move an object and do work.
b)
A tendency for an object to remain in motion or at rest.
c)
stored energy
d)
Energy to move it against the force of gravity
9.
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. What does this law explain?
a)
The tendency of objects to remain in motion or at rest.
b)
This law explains that forces, or actions, come in pairs.
c)
If you apply force to an object, you will change its speed, change its direction, or change both.
d)
The force which causes an object to move.
10.
