Potential and Kinetic energy
The variable that is tested and measured
Dependent Variable
The net force on an object is the combination of all forces acting on it.
Net force
A factor or part of an experment
Variable
A push or a pull on an object
Force
When a force being applied to an object is the same size as the force being applied in the oposite direction
Newtons Second law of Motion
The ability to do work
Energy
Heat energy, can be created from friction
Thermal Energy
(J) The unit of measurement for energy
Joule
Was a british scientist who made important discoveries about light, motion, and gravity
Issac Newton
Energy from sound
Sound energy
When energy is moved from 1 kind to another kind.
Transferred Energy
The variable that the scientist controls in an experiment
Independent variable
The study of matter and its motion how it interacts with energy and forces
Physics
An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion, with the same speed, and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
Newton's First law of motion
A force that exists between any 2 pieces of matter that are in contact with each other. It's the reason why objects on Earth don't just keep rolling, eventually they slow down
Friction
A change in speed or direction. Speed up or slow down.
Accelerate
The amount of matter that makes up an object. It's similar to weight
Mass
An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion, with the same speed, and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
Balanced Force
Energy cant be created or destroyed
Law of conservation of energy
