Question | Answer |
---|---|
A place or object used for comparison to determine if something is in motion | Reference point |
Distance SI Unit | Meter |
The distance an object moves per unit of time. | Speed |
Calculate the total distance traveled by the total time | Average Speed |
The speed at which an object is moving at a given instant in time. | Instantaneous Speed |
Speed in a given direction | Velocity |
Plotting time on the x-axis | Graphing Motion |
is the steepness of the line, shows how fast one variable changes in relation to the other variable | Slope |
The rate at which energy is transferred, or the amount of energy transferred in a unit of time. | Power |
The energy an object has due to its motion. | Kinetic Energy |
The energy an object has because of its position, also the internal stored energy of an object, such as energy stored in chemical bonds. | Potential Energy |
Potential energy related to an object’s height. | Gravitational Potential Energy |
The energy that can be associated with object’s that can be compressed or stretched. | Elastic Potential Energy |
The form of energy associated with the motion, position, and shape of an object. | Mechanical Energy |
The energy stored in the nucleus of an atom. | Nuclear Energy |
The total potential and kinetic energy of the particles in an object. | Thermal Energy |
The energy of electrical charges. | Electrical Energy |
The form of energy that travels through space in waves. | Electromagnetic Energy |
The potential energy stored in chemical bonds. | Chemical Energy |
a change in energy from one to another. | Energy Transformations |
Energy cannot be created or destroyed just changed from one form to another. | Law of the Conversation of Energy |
