_________ energy is also known as solar energy (sunlight).
Back
Balanced Forces
Front
Forces that are opposite in direction but equal in strength.
Results in no movement.
Back
Potential Energy
Front
Stored energy or energy at rest.
Increases with height and mass.
Back
Gravity
Front
_________ is a pull (not a push).
All objects have __________.
Objects with greater mass have greater _________.
Back
Radiation
Front
Process where energy is tranferred in waves or rays.
Back
Newton's Third Law
Front
AKA the Law of Action and Reaction
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Back
Convection
Front
Process where energy is transferred by flow and circulation.
Back
Friction
Front
The force that resists movement between 2 objects that are touching.
Back
Mass
Front
the amount or quantity of matter in an object
Back
Newton's First Law
Front
AKA the Law of Inertia
Objects in motion stay in motion and objects at rest stay at rest unless acted upon by a force.
Back
Energy Transformations
Front
The process of energy changing easily from one form to another.
Example: Eating food (chemical) allows us to move our bodies (kinetic) until we begin to sweat (thermal).
Back
Work
Front
When a force is applied to an object and the object moves you have done ___________ (only if the object moves).
Back
Newton's Second Law
Front
AKA the Law of Force
If enough force is applied to an object the object will move.
Force = mass x acceleration or F= m x a
Back
Velocity
Front
The speed and direction of an object.
Example: I was traveling 70 mph east in my car.
Back
Motion
Front
A change in an object's position (it moved).
Back
Kinetic Energy
Front
Energy in motion.
Increases with speed and mass.
Back
Force
Front
A push or a pull.
Back
Thermal Energy
Front
_________ energy is also known as heat.
Back
position
Front
the place where a person or thing is;
location [The ship radioed its position.]
Back
Acceleration
Front
A change in velocity (change in speed and/or direction).
Back
Chemical Energy
Front
_________ energy is found in the food we eat and in fossil fuels that we burn.
Back
Frame of reference
Front
The object an observer uses to detect
motion.
Back
Unbalanced Forces
Front
Forces that are opposite in direction and unequal in strength.
Results in movement in the direction of the greater force.
Back
