        Help!  

WORDS TO KNOW
DEFINITIONS
Conservation of energy   The principle that the amount of energy iin any system remains the same, even if the form of the energy changes  
🗑
Conservation of matter   The principle that the amount of matter in any system remains the same, even though it may have gone through physical or chemical change  
🗑
Elastic potential energy   Potential energy that is created by tension in an object such as a stretch rubber band  
🗑
Energy   The ability to do work  
🗑
Gravitational potential energy   Potential energy due to an object's position relative to Earth or some other gravitational field  
🗑
Joule (J)   The unit of energy or work  
🗑
Kinetic energy   Energy of a body in motion; (1/2mv2)  
🗑
Mechanical advantage   The ratio of output force to input force for a simple machine (resistance force/effort force or effort distance/resistance distance)  
🗑
Potential energy   Stored energy because of its position or tension (mgh)  
🗑
Simple machine   Any of the devices that work with one movement; includes the lever, wheel and axle, pulley, inclined plane, wedge, and screw  
🗑
Work   The transfer of energy, measured as the product of the force applied to an object and the distance moved by that object in the direction of the force applied; equal to force x distance (f x d)  
🗑
Power   The rate at which work is done (W/t)  
🗑
Efficiency   The amount of work output divided by the work input expressed as a percentage  
🗑
Effort distance   The distance an input force moves in a simple machine  
🗑
Resistance distance   The distance the output force moves the resistance  
🗑
Watt (or kilowatt)   The unit for power  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
