Hodge Podge
100
This formula is used to calculate force.
What is force = mass x acceleration
100
A change in speed over time.
What is acceleration
100
This form of energy increases as the height or the mass of an object increases.
What is gravitational potential energy
100
This law states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed.
What is the Law of Conservation of Energy
100
When this type of force is absent, the potential energy and kinetic energy in a system are equal.
What is friction
200
This type of force is created when an object slides across the surface of another object.
What is frictional force
200
A change in distance over time.
What is speed
200
This form of kinetic energy can be represented by gears moving inside of a wind-up toy.
What is mechanical energy
200
Electrical energy from the wires of a speaker are mostly transformed into this type of kinetic energy.
What is sound energy
200
The color that reflects all colors of visible light.
What is white
300
This is the support force exerted on a object that is resting on another object.
What is normal force
300
The type of acceleration that describes slowing down.
What is negative acceleration
300
A snowboarder in a half-pipe has a maximum of this type of energy when they are at the peak of their jump out of the pipe.
What is potential energy.
300
Batteries transform this type of potential energy into electrical energy.
What is chemical potential energy.
300
The color that absorbs all colors of light
What is black
400
This is the force that is created when a object pushes or pulls against another object.
What is applied force
400
The standard unit for acceleration is this.

What is m/s2

400
A freeskier's kinetic energy is at its highest when the freeskier is at this location in the half-pipe.
What is at the bottom of the half-pipe.
400
The light energy that is absorbed by dark surfaces is most often transformed into this type of kinetic energy.
What is heat energy
400
The bending of light through different media is called this.
What is refraction
500
This type of force is described as an attraction between a massive body and a smaller object.
What is gravity force
500
An elephant with a mass of 8100kg runs into a tree with a force of 90N. Its acceleration is this.

What is 90m/s2

500
The energy that is stored in the core of the sun is described as this type of energy.
What is nuclear potential energy.
500
The most likely energy transformations that would occur from the sun to glucose stored in plants is this.
What is nuclear potential energy --> light energy --> chemical potential energy
500
