Inertia (First Law)
This is the name commonly given to Newton's First Law of Motion.
What is the Law of Inertia?
Push or pull
What is force?
This is stored energy
What is Potential Energy?
Energy transformation that occurs when a pot of water boils on a stove.
What is thermal energy to mechanical energy?
The energy of motion; a moving car has this type.
What is kinetic energy?
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.
What is Newton's First Law of Motion?
The combination of all forces acting on an object.
What is Net Force?
A stretched rubber band or a compressed spring stores this specific type of potential energy.
What is elastic potential energy?
Primary energy transformation in a solar panel used to power a building.
What is light energy to electrical energy?
Stored energy, like a stretched rubber band or raised weight.
What is Potential energy?
A objects natural tendency to resist a change in its state of Motion.
What is Inertia?
These forces are equal in size and opposite in direction.
What are balanced forces?
Water stored behind a dam has this kind of potential energy, which is converted to kinetic energy when released.
What is gravitational potential energy?
This transformation happens when a person is running, changing stored energy into motion and heat.
What is chemical energy to mechanical and thermal energy?
Potential energy that's stored in the bonds of atoms and molecules.
What is chemical energy?
For an objects motion to change, it must be acted upon by this type of force.
What is an unbalanced force?
When these forces act on an object, its motion changes, meaning it will speed up, slow down, or change direction.
What are unbalanced forces?
The 2 main factors that determine an object's gravitational potential energy.
What are height and mass?
The energy conversion in a flashlight powered by a hand crank.
What is mechanical energy to electrical energy?
Energy related to heat and temperature.
What is thermal energy?
True Or False: Inertia is a force
What is false?
This is the tendency of an object to resist a change in its state of Motion.
What is Inertia?
In a roller coaster ride, this is the point where the car has maximum potential energy and the least kinetic energy.
What is the highest point?
The energy conversion that allows plants to produce sugar during the day.
What is light energy to chemical energy?
The transfer of thermal energy through direct contact.
What is conduction?
