| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Mass (m) | measure of amount of matter in an object |
| Weight | measure of amount of gravitational force exerted on object |
| Gravity (G) | force every object exerts on every other object in universe |
| Law of Gravitation-Mass | the larger the mass the more gravity |
| Law of Gravitation-Distance | the greater the distance the less gravity |
| Energy (E) | the ability to cause changes, to do work, or create power/ is measured in joules |
| Law of Conservation of Energy | energy cannot be created or destroyed, but it can change forms |
| Kinetic Energy (KE) | energy of motion KE=1/2mv2 |
| Potential Energy (PE) | stored energy |
| Gravitational Potential Energy (GPE) | stored by object due to its position GPE=mgh |
| Work (W) | transfer of energy that occurs when a force makes an object move W=force x distance – measured in joules |
| Simple Machines | does work with only one movement; the six are lever, pulley, wedge, wheel and axel, inclined plane, and screw |
