Force, Motion, Energy
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Acceleration | change in an object’s motion (position, direction, speed) |
| Average Speed | the total distance traveled by an object over a total amount of time |
| Balanced Force | equal and opposite forces on an object that result in no change in position, direction, or motion |
| Constant Speed | when an object’s speed remains unchanged |
| Displacement | how far an object has moved from its original position |
| Kinetic Energy | energy of motion |
| Potential Energy | stored energy of an object because of its position or shape |
| Unbalanced Force | unequal forces on an object that may result in a change in position, direction, or motion |
| Acceleration | caused by unbalanced forces |
| Displacement | the difference between the final and initial positions |
| Chemical Energy | energy stored in the bonds of atoms and molecules of substances |
| Elastic Energy | stored in objects by force |
| Electrical Energy | movement of electrons |
| Energy | the ability to cause change or do work |
| Energy Conservation | management of the use of energy resources |
| Energy Resources | natural resources that can be used as a source of energy to do work |
| Energy Transformations | process of energy changing from one form to another |
| Law of Conservation of Energy | states that energy is neither created or destroyed; it only changes form (transforms) |
| LIght Energy | energy from light waves |
| Mechanical Energy | movement of objects or substances from one place to another |
| Nonrenewable | natural resources that cannot be replaced once depleted |
| Radiation | the transfer of energy from a light source to an object or substance |
| Renewable | natural resources that can be replaced by nature |
| Sound Energy | movement of waves through a substance or object caused by vibrations |
| Thermal Energy | a form of kinetic energy resulting from the motion of particles that is transferred as heat |
| Conduction | the transfer of heat energy by direct contact |
| Convection | the movement caused within a fluid by the tendency of hotter material to rise, and colder, denser material to sink creating a current |
| Transform | changing from one form to another (e.g., energy transformation) |
| Chemical Energy | food, biomass, petroleum, natural gas, and propane |
| Elastic Energy | stretched rubber band or balloon |
| Electrical Energy | electrons moving through wires is electricity; lightning |
| LIght Energy | electromagnetic waves like solar and light bulbs |
| Nonrenewable | oil, coal, natural gas, nuclear |
| Radiation | Heat transfer from the Sun, fire, light bulb, or burner to an object or substance |
| Renewable | Solar, hydropower, wind, and biomass |
| Thermal Energy | associated with the temperature of substances |
