Energy
What is Potential Energy?
This force is what pulls two objects towards each other.
What is Gravity?
A straight, horizontal line (left to right) on a Distance/Time Graph indicates this type of motion from the object.
What is an object at rest?
The ability to do work or cause change.
What is Energy?
What is Kinetic Energy?
The two measurements necessary for calculating speed.
What is distance and time?
This type of line occurs when an object is either gaining or losing speed. (Distance/Time Graph)
What is a curved line?
When an object changes position relative to another object.
What is Motion?
This type of energy is based on the height of an object. (As height increases, so does this type of energy).
Potential Energy
A straight diagnal line moving away from the reference point indicates this type of motion from the object. (Distance/Time Graph)
What is a constant speed?
The distance an object moves per unit of time.
What is speed?
Explain what potential energy is
Potential Energy is stored energy within an object, when the object isn't in motion
The average speed of a car traveling 150 miles in 3 hours.
What is 50 m/hr?
This is what is referred to as the steepness of a motion graph.
What is slope?
That when one form of energy is transformed into another, no energy if lost in the process.
What is the Law of Conservation of Energy?
Explain what Kinetic Energy is
Kinetic energy is the energy of the motion of an object
The speed in a given direction.
What is velocity?
The slope of a motion graph =
What is rise over run or distance/time?
The type of energy that is stored in the nucleus of an atom.
What is Nuclear Energy?
