Forces and Energy
Affect of Forces of Motion and Energy affecting Motion
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Force is | Push or pull of an object changing its motion |
| Requires a large force to move it | Bowling ball |
| Gravity | Force pulling two objects toward one another or the center of the earth |
| On earth gravity pulls you into which direction | Center of the earth |
| Inertia | An object staying in motion or at rest |
| A toy car in front of you with no movement is | Inertia |
| Friction | Rubbing against each other, and it slowing down things in motion |
| A ball slowing down the grass is caused by | Friction |
| Two results force can have on motion is | Can cause objects start moving, speed up, slow down or change directions |
| A ball continuing to move without stopping | Does not have friction |
| A roller coaster is being pushed down because of | Gravity |
| Energy | Ability to do work |
| Potential Energy | Energy an object has because of its position |
| When you are at the top of a slide waiting to come down you have what type of energy | Potential Energy |
| When you kick a ball, you give it | Kinetic Energy |
| A bicycle moving when you pedal it is | Mechanical Energy |
| Kinetic Energy | Energy of motion |
| Mechanical Energy | Energy it has because it can move or of its motion |
| A toy using a battery is powered by | Chemical Energy |
| An object can have two types of energy such as | Potential and Kinetic Energy |
| Energy stored in a battery | Chemical Energy |
| Three forms of energy are | Mechanical, Chemical, Electrical |
