300

What is the difference in kinetic energy and potential energy? 

What is kinetic energy means in motion and potential energy is stored? 

300

Out of these 3 materials: wood, metal, or plastic, which of the following would transfer heat energy the fastest and why?

What is metal because it is a conductor?

300

A mother pushes her baby in a stroller with a force of 30 N for a distance of 10 m. How much work does the mother do to the stroller?

What is 300 J? 

W= 30 N x 10 m = 300 J

300

A force of 50 Newtons causes an object to accelerate from 10 m/s to a speed of 22 m/s in 4 seconds. What is the mass of the object?

What is 16.67 kg? 

First calculate acceleration a=change in velo/time

then solve for mass M=F/a

300

A car accelerates from a standstill to 60 m/s in 10 seconds. What is the acceleration?

what is 6 m/s2?

a=change in velocity/time 

400

What type of energy do batteries store?  

What is chemical?

400

Do good insulators have high specific heats or low specific heats and why? 

What is high specific heat because they are harder to heat up/cool down 

400

What is 625 Joules?

W= 25 N x 25 m = 625 J

400
What is Newton's 3rd law?
