Gravitational/Potential Energy
This type of energy is stored in an object because of its position above the ground.
gravitational potential energy
This is the energy an object has because it’s moving.
Kinectic Energy
This scientist is known for describing the three laws of motion.
Isaac Newton
This is the SI base unit for measuring mass

When you lift a backpack onto a shelf, what type of work are you doing on it
positive work that increases gravitational potential energy
When you hold a ball higher above the ground, what happens to its gravitational potential energy?
What is it increases because the ball is farther from Earth’s surface and has more stored energy due to its position?
Newton’s first law says that an object at rest stays at rest unless acted on by this.
Unbalance Force
The SI unit used to measure length or distance is this.

If two identical books are on different shelves, one higher than the other, which has more potential energy?
book on the higher shelf
When a car speeds up, what happens to its kinetic energy?
increases because the car’s motion increases?
Newton’s second law explains how force, mass, and motion are related. In simple terms, more force causes this.
What is greater acceleration or faster motion
The SI unit for time is this — it measures how long something takes.

When a rock falls from a cliff, what happens to its gravitational potential energy?
PE turns into KE
When an object stops moving, what happens to its kinetic energy?
becomes zero
When you push on a wall and the wall pushes back with equal strength, which law does this describe?
What is Newton’s Third Law — for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction?
This is the SI unit for force, named after the scientist who described the laws of motion.

A diver climbs to the top of a diving board before jumping. Explain why climbing increases their stored energy.
climbing increases height, which increases gravitational potential energy that converts to motion when they dive?
Using the work–energy theorem, explain how doing more work on an object changes its motion.
More work adds more energy, causing the object to move faster or gain kinetic energy?
A rocket launches upward by pushing exhaust gases downward. Which of Newton’s laws explains this motion?
Newton’s Third Law of Motion?
When measuring energy or work, scientists use this SI unit.
