Energy
What is Potential Energy?
This force is what pulls two objects towards each other.
What is Gravity?
A straight, horizontal line (left to right) on a Motion Graph indicates this type of motion from the object.
What is an object at rest?
The ability to do work or cause change.
What is Energy?
What is Kinetic Energy?
The two measurements necessary for calculating speed.
What is distance and time?
This type of line occurs when an object is either gaining or losing speed.
What is a curved line?
When an object changes position relative to another object.
What is Motion?
This type of potential energy is based on the height of an object. (As height increases, so does this type of energy).
What is Gravitational Potential Energy?
The place or object used in comparison to determine if something is in motion.
What is Reference Point?
What is a constant speed?
The distance an object moves per unit of time.
What is speed?
The two types of Potential Energy we have discussed.
What is Gravitational Potential and Elastic Potential?
The average speed of a car traveling 150 miles in 3 hours.
What is 50 m/hr?
This is what is referred to as the steepness of a motion graph.
What is slope?
That when one form of energy is transformed into another, no energy if lost in the process.
What is the Law of Conservation of Energy?
Kinetic Energy is transformed into this type of energy when Friction occurs.
What is Thermal Energy?
The speed in a given direction.
What is velocity?
What is rise over run?
The type of energy that is stored in the nucleus of an atom.
What is Nuclear Energy?
