Simple Machines
one or more inclined planes that taper to a thin edge used for separating, lifting up, or holding an object in place
what is a wedge
Force that cancel each other out when acting together on a single object
what is a balanced force
A circuit that does not have a complete connection between the two sides of the power source. As a result, current does not flow.
what is a open circuit
An object moves in the direction of the force applied
What is newton 2nd law of motion
energy in motion
what is kinetic energy
a flat surface set at an angle or an incline that is able to lift objects by pushing or pulling the load
what is a inclined plane
the tenancy of an object to resist change in motion
what is inertia
A complete circuit through which electricity flows.
what is a closed circuit
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction
What is newtons 2nd law of motion
Stored energy
what is potential energy
A rope that fits into a groove on a wheel used to raise or lower objects
What is a Pulley
forces that do not cancel each other out when acting together on a single object
what is a balanced force
A circuit with more than one path for current flow.
what is a parallel circuit
an object at rest tends to stay at rest, a moving object tends to stay in motion
What is newtons first law of motion
a form of light
what is electromagnetic energy
an inclined plane wrapped around a cylinder or cone
what is a screw
Force that attracts object to each other
What is gravity
A circuit with only one path for current flow.
What is a series circuit
change in position
What is motion
The nucleus of an atom is the source of energy.
what is nuclear energy
A central pivot around witch circular object spins
What is Wheel and Axle
total force acting on an object
what is net force
A conductor which allows electricity to flow from battery to light bulb.
What is a wire
S1 unit of force
What is a newton
When work is done to an object, it acquires energy. The energy it acquires is known as energy.
what is mechanical energy
