A person pushes a box. What is the push most likely to change?
the position
A bicyclist rides on a flat road and then stops pedaling but does not apply the brakes. The bicycle stops because of -
friction or resistance
This is a push or a pull.
a force
Name a surface that does not produce a lot of friction.
ice, slick floors, etc.
What is energy?
the ability to do work
A student throws a ball. What type of energy does a moving ball have ?
kinetic energy
How do you calculate speed?
distance divided by time
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
Energy cannot be destroyed. What can it do?
Change forms (be transferred)
If friction is present, what two things happen when an object is moving?
object will slow down and heat is created
Objects in motion stay in motion, objects at rest stay at -
rest
Kinetic energy allows you to -
move
Name two ways the velocity of an object can change.
increase/decrease in speed, or change direction
A book on a shelf has what type of energy?
potential energy (potential to fall)
An elephant and a lion are both moving with a speed of 5 m/s. Which animal has more kinetic energy?
the elephant
Larger objects need more force to move them is an example of what law of motion?
2nd law
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
A 20kg rock accelerates to 5 m/s2. What is the magnitude (calculate force) of the force that caused this motion?
100N
Friction creates -
heat
This position is when the ball has the greatest amount of kinetic energy.
What is position D?
What do you need to apply to an object to make it move?
an unbalanced force
