Energy Basics
This type of energy is stored in an object due to its height above the ground.
What is potential energy
This law is also called the Law of Inertia
What is Newton's 1st Law?
These forces cancel each other out, resulting in no change in motion
What are balanced forces
The type of energy an object has when it is at rest.
What is potential energy?
Velocity includes both of these components.
What are speed and direction?
The energy of motion.
What is kinetic energy
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
What is Newton's 3rd Law?
This is the measure of the rate of change of velocity.
What is acceleration?
Doubling the speed of an object will cause this change in kinetic energy.
What is quadrupling?
the relationship between potential energy and height is this.
What is directly proportional?
This happens to potential energy when an object is lifted higher.
What is it increases
This law explains how force, mass, and acceleration are related
What is Newton's 2nd Law?
When unbalanced forces act on an object, this happens
What is a change in motion (acceleration)?
A 2 kg object is lifted 3 meters. This is its potential energy.
What is approximately 60 J?
inertia depends on this property of an object.
What is mass
The formula to calculate kinetic energy.
What is KE = ½ mv²
A book resting on a table is an example of this type of force.
What is balanced force?
The relationship between speed and distance traveled is described as this.
What is linear?
A 5 kg object moving at 10 m/s has this amount of kinetic energy.
What is 250 J?
The gravitational force between two objects depends on mass and this.
What is distance?
The type of energy transfer that occurs when potential energy is converted into kinetic energy.
What is energy transformation?
A rocket launching uses this law to push off the ground
What is Newton's 3rd Law?
he force that resists motion between two surfaces in contact.
What is friction?
This type of energy depends on both mass and velocity.
What is kinetic energy?
This is how mass and height affect an object’s gravitational potential energy.
What are direct relationships?
