Power
The SI unit for power, equivalent to one Joule per second.
What is the watt (W)?
The SI unit for work, which is equivalent to one Newton-meter.
What is the Joule (J)?
This type of energy is possessed by an object due to its motion and is calculated using the formula K equals 1/2 mv^2
What is translational kinetic energy (or kinetic energy)?
In this common FRQ task, students must use a given set of equipment, like a meter stick and a stopwatch, to design a procedure for a lab investigation.
What is the Experimental Design question type?
I drink the same thing every day.

This concept is defined as the rate at which work is done or energy is transferred.
What is power?
A push or pull that is exerted over a distance to cause a change in energy.
What is work?
Stored energy resulting from the height of an object in a gravitational field is referred to as this specific type of potential energy.
What is gravitational potential energy?
This is the required format for justification responses, which must connect claims back to established physical principles in a clear and flowing manner.
What is a paragraph-length argument (or paragraph response)?
I have a degree from college but I can't remember where I went.
What is SAGU/Nelson
A 60 kg student runs up a flight of stairs that is 4 meters high in 5 seconds. This is the average power generated by the student.
What is 480 Watts?

You push a cart with a constant force of 10 N across a friction-less floor for a distance of 2 meters. This is the amount of work you have done.
What is 20 Joules?
A 2 kg ball is dropped from a height of 10 meters. Ignoring air resistance, this is the ball's kinetic energy just before it hits the ground.
What is 196 Joules
This specific FRQ type requires students to move between a descriptive, qualitative explanation and a formal, quantitative mathematical derivation for the same physical scenario.
What is the Qualitative/Quantitative Translation (QQT) question type?
Mr. Ferguson gets home and wants to play his favorite game on his computer. What is it?

When an object is moving at a constant velocity, power can be calculated as the dot product of force and velocity, often simplified to this formula.
What is P equals Fv?
This theorem states that the net work done on an object is equal to the change in its kinetic energy
What is the Work-Energy Theorem?
This fundamental principle in physics states that within a closed, isolated system, the total amount of energy remains constant, though it may change forms.
What is the Conservation of Energy?
This skill is critical for scoring points on many FRQs and involves manipulating an equation to create a linear relationship between variables, often so the slope can represent a key physical constant like spring constant or mass.
What is graph linearization (or linearizing a graph/data)?
I have a large Family, Do you remember how many siblings I have
What is 7
Motor A lifts a 5000 N steel bar upward at a constant speed of 2 m/s. Motor B lifts a 4000 N steel support upward at a constant speed of 3 m/s. This motor generates more power.
What is Motor B?
A 5 kg box is held stationary 2 meters above the ground. This is the amount of work done by the person holding the box.
What is zero (or 0 Joules)?
A 0.5 kg block slides across a rough surface with an initial speed of 4 m/s and comes to a stop. This is the amount of energy dissipated by the non-conservative force of friction.
What is 4 Joules?
On multi-part problems, students are instructed to perform this action even if they are unsure of a previous answer, as graders will still award points for a consistent subsequent derivation or calculation.
What is using the value from the previous part (or carrying an incorrect answer through the problem)?
