This is the ability to do work. 

What is energy? 

100

This is the energy an object has due to its motion. 

What is kinetic energy? 

100

This is the stored energy that results from the position or shape of an object. 

What is potential energy? 

100

This is the units for force. 

What are newtons (n)?

100

This is the symbol for centripetal force. 

What is Fc

200

This law states that energy cannot be created or destroyed. 

What is the Law of Conservation of Energy? 

200

This is the equation for kinetic energy. 

What is KE = 1/2mv^2? 

200

This is the equation for gravitational potential energy. 

What is PE = mgh? 

200

This is the sum of all forces on an object. 

What is net force?
200

Centripetal force keeps an object in this type of motion. 

What is uniform circular motion? 

300

This is the unit for energy. 

What are Joules (J)? 

300

These are the two types of kinetic energy. 

What are transitional and rotational? 

300

This is the equation for elastic potential energy. 

What is PE = 1/2kx^2?

300

This is Newton's law that states f=ma. 

What is Newton's second law? 

300

This is the equation for centripetal force. 

What is Fc = m * ac

400

This is the kinetic or potential energy associated with the motion or position of an object. 

What is mechanical energy? 


400

These are the two things that you need to know to calculate kinetic energy. 

What are mass and speed? 

400

This is the position where an object is safe from being changed. 

What is an object's equilibrium position? 

400

This is the force perpendicular to the surface.

What is normal force? 

400

Centripetal force points inwards here.

What is the center of motion? 

500

This is the potential energy stored in the nucleus of an atom. 

What is nuclear energy? 


500

When this doubles, kinetic energy quadruples. 

What is an object's speed? 

500

A baseball and a bowling ball are held five feet above the ground. This one has more potential energy. 

What is the bowling ball? 

500

This is the equation for gravity.
