Energy
This is the ability to do work.
What is energy?
This is the energy an object has due to its motion.
What is kinetic energy?
This is the stored energy that results from the position or shape of an object.
What is potential energy?
This is the units for force.
What are newtons (n)?
This is the symbol for centripetal force.
What is Fc
This law states that energy cannot be created or destroyed.
What is the Law of Conservation of Energy?
This is the equation for kinetic energy.
What is KE = 1/2mv^2?
This is the equation for gravitational potential energy.
What is PE = mgh?
This is the sum of all forces on an object.
Centripetal force keeps an object in this type of motion.
What is uniform circular motion?
This is the unit for energy.
What are Joules (J)?
These are the two types of kinetic energy.
What are transitional and rotational?
This is the equation for elastic potential energy.
What is PE = 1/2kx^2?
This is Newton's law that states f=ma.
What is Newton's second law?
This is the equation for centripetal force.
What is Fc = m * ac
This is the kinetic or potential energy associated with the motion or position of an object.
What is mechanical energy?
These are the two things that you need to know to calculate kinetic energy.
What are mass and speed?
This is the position where an object is safe from being changed.
What is an object's equilibrium position?
This is the force perpendicular to the surface.
What is normal force?
Centripetal force points inwards here.
What is the center of motion?
This is the potential energy stored in the nucleus of an atom.
What is nuclear energy?
When this doubles, kinetic energy quadruples.
What is an object's speed?
A baseball and a bowling ball are held five feet above the ground. This one has more potential energy.
What is the bowling ball?
This is the equation for gravity.
What is Fg = mg?
This is acceleration that keeps an object in uniform circular motion
What is centripetal acceleration?
