energy is made up of tiny particles called atoms
energy cannot be created nor destroyed
energy cannot be created but can be destroyed
energy can change from one form to another
What is a force?
a push or pull
a type of atom
the destruction of energy
a tool to measure work
What is relative position?
how much energy is stored in an object
the rate of acceleration from one location to another
where an object cannot interact without external forces
where an object is located in relation to another object
What is the main difference between non-renewable and renewable resources?
non-renewable resources are plentiful but hard to extract
renewable resources can be replenished over a relatively short period of time
non-renewable resources, when used, release non-toxic fumes
renewable resources are things such as petroleum and coal
What is motion?
the change in an object's mass
the ability to store more potential energy
the change in an object's position
the release of an object's mechanical energy
21mv2 is the equation to find an object's ...
elastic potential energy
the energy of body at rest

energy of motion
Which of the following is a form of PE found in the bonds between atoms?
thermal energy
chemical energy
nuclear energy
kinetic energy
Newton's 1st Law states ...
an object will convert energy at a constant rate but then start to lose some of it's ability to due work due to the force of friction
an object will always oppose an unbalanced force when masses are constant and speed is irrelevant
an object is subject to the force of gravity due to it's relative position on earth
an object at rest will stay at rest, and an object in motion will stay in motion unless disturbed by another force
m × h × g is the equation to find an object's ...
gravitational potential energy
elastic potential energy
kinetic energy at the bottom of a slope
energy of motion at the top of a hill
When you do work on an object you ...
change it's gravitational pull
transfer energy to it
use force to move it
create additional energy
