Newtons laws of motion
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Energy in motion | Kinetic energy |
| Energy waiting to happen | Potential energy |
| The ability to do work | Energy |
| Stored energy due to the position of the object | Gravitational potential energy |
| Energy stored in elastic material due to stretching or compression of the material | Elastic potential energy |
| An object in motion will stay in motion or an object at rest will stay at rest unless acted upon by an outside force | Newtons 1st Law of Motion |
| The force acting on an object is related to its mass and acceleration. | Newtons 2nd Law of Motion |
| Every action has an equal and opposite reactions | Newtons 3rd Law of Motion |
| Force = mass x acceleration | Newtons 2nd law of Motion |
| A property of matter that opposes changes in velcocity | Inertia |
| The amount of matter in an object | Mass |
| The rate of change in velocity | Acceleration |
| The speed and direction of a body in motion. | Velocity |
