100
This type of force does not cause motion. They are equal in size and opposite in direction.
What is balanced forces?
100
Energy that is stored in an object but not being used.
What is potential energy?
100
P or K? Jon throws a football across a field.
What is kinetic?
100
P or K? A mountain climber standing at the top of a mountain.
What is potential?
200
This force always causes a change in motion.
What is unbalanced forces?
200
An object that is not moving has
What is potential energy?
200
P or K? A flower blowing in the wind.
What is kinetic?
200
P, K, B? A rollercoaster slowly going to the top of the slope and then that moment right before it goes racing down the slope
What is both? The roller coaster is gathering potential energy on the way up and it is moving (K).
300
An apple on a tree.
What is balanced?
300
Energy that is in motion.
What is kinetic energy?
300
P or K? The flowers in the vase sitting on the table.
What is potential?
300
P, K, or B? Water flowing over a cliff into a lake.
What is both? The water flowing will make the water in the lake move once it hits it (moving to making something move).
