| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| energy | The ability to cause change |
| joules | Energy is measured in the unit of ____________ |
| forms | There are two main _________ of energy |
| potential | __________ energy is stored energy due to the interaction between objects or particles |
| kinetic | __________ energy is energy due to motion |
| speed | Kinetic energy of an object depends on two factors, __________ and mass |
| equation | The mathematical __________ for kinetic energy is KE = ½mv2 |
| increase | As you increase the mass of an object, the kinetic energy will ___________ , while a decrease in mass will decrease the kinetic energy |
| proportional | The relationship between mass and kinetic energy is a linear __________ relationship |
| doubles | The kinetic energy __________ as the mass of the object doubles |
| speed | As you increase the ________ of an object, the kinetic energy will increase |
| nonlinear | The relationship between speed and kinetic energy is a __________ (square) proportional relationship |
