Potential energy

stored energy; energy of position

<p>stored energy; energy of position</p>
2
New cards

Kinetic energy

movement energy; the energy an object has due to its motion

<p>movement energy; the energy an object has due to its motion</p>

New cards

Force

A push or pull exerted on an object

<p>A push or pull exerted on an object</p>

Friction

A force that slows things down/makes them stop. Friction creates heat

Mass

A measure of the amount of matter in an object; measured in grams

New cards

Direction

the path that an object is moving or facing

<p>the path that an object is moving or facing</p>
7
New cards

Distance

How far an object moves.

<p>How far an object moves.</p>

New cards

Speed

How fast and far an object moves in a certain amount of time

<p>How fast and far an object moves in a certain amount of time</p>

Gravity

A pulling force between objects that is due to their masses. On Earth, gravity pulls things down towards the center of Earth.

New cards

Motion

Change in the direction, position, or speed of an object

<p>Change in the direction, position, or speed of an object</p>
11
New cards

Less friction

Smooth surfaces, faster motion (movement)

<p>Smooth surfaces, faster motion (movement)</p>
12
New cards

More friction

Rough surface, slower motion (movement)

<p>Rough surface, slower motion (movement)</p>

New cards

Gravitational potential energy

Potential energy that depends on the height of an object. Higher position = MORE potential energy.

<p>Potential energy that depends on the height of an object. Higher position = MORE potential energy.</p>
