What is three.
100
Energy in motion.
What is kinetic energy?
100
An object's change in position relative to a reference point.

200
The type of energy your body uses to function.
What is chemical energy?
200
The unit scientists use to express the amount of force.
What is a newton.
200
This is the other name for Newton's first law.
What is the law of inertia?
200
The two types of energy included in mechanical energy.
What is kinetic and potential?
200
The combination of all of the forces acting on an object.
What are net forces?
300
The type of energy conversions found in a light bulb.
What is electrical energy to light energy and thermal energy?
300
The measure of the gravitational force on an object.
What is weight?
300
These are the two parts that acceleration is dependent on according to Newton's 2nd Law.
What is force and mass?
300
The two variables that gravitational potential energy depends on.
What is height and weight?
300
The type of friction between moving objects.
What is kinetic friction?
400
The type of energy that comes from changes in the nucleus of an atom.
What is nuclear energy?
400
Opposes motion between surfaces that are touching.
What is friction?
400
According to Newton's Third Law, all forces act in...
What are pairs?
400
The law that states that energy cannot be created or destroyed in a closed system, like a roller coaster .
What is the law of conservation of energy?
400
The tendency of an object to resist being moved or, if the object is moving, to resist a change in speed or direction until an outside force acts on the object.
What is inertia?
500
The mascot of the camp Mrs. Carlson goes to.
What is a polar bear?
500
All objects in the universe attract each other through this type of force. The size of the force depends on the masses of the objects and the distance between the objects.
What is gravity?
500
This is what creates a force pair between Earth and a falling apple.
What is gravity?
500
When energy changes from one form to another, some of the energy always changes into this type of energy.
What is thermal energy?
