A student throws a ball. What type of energy does a moving ball have ?

kinetic energy

200

How do you calculate speed?

distance divided by time

200

How do forces act upon objects?

stop objects, start objects moving, change the direction of an object

You want to conduct an experiment with a simple machine. First, you make an inclined plane by placing a book under one end of a ruler. Next, you will place a marble in the groove of the ruler at the top of the incline. Then, you will release the marble and measure the distance it travels. How could you increase the distance traveled by the marble?

increasing the height of the book

What is the definition of acceleration?

change in velocity

300

Energy cannot be destroyed. What can it do?

Change forms (be transferred)

300

If friction is present, what two things happen when an object is moving?

object will slow down and heat is created

300

Objects in motion stay in motion, objects at rest stay at -

rest

Kinetic energy allows you to -

move

300

Name two ways the velocity of an object can change.

increase/decrease in speed, or change direction

400

A book on a shelf has what type of energy?

potential energy (potential to fall)

Larger objects need more force to move them is an example of what law of motion? 

2nd law

400

Name an example of kinetic energy.

Answers will vary.

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

speed is the measure of motion or how fast/slow you are moving and velocity is speed in a direction
