Elastic potential energy Stored energy released when an object’s shape is changed (as in a stretched rubber band or a coiled spring)
Gravitational potential energy Stored energy of an object based on its position above the ground
Work A way to increase (or decrease) an object’s energy by using a force to change the object’s motion or position
Force A push or pull that acts on an object
Compressed Squeezed or pressed together
Gravity The force of attraction between any two masses. Near the Earth’s surface, gravity is the force that attracts objects toward the center of Earth
System A collection of objects that interact
Mechanical energy The sum of the kinetic energy, gravitational potential energy, and elastic potential energy in a system

Control variables Conditions or procedures that are held constant
Independent (manipulated) variable A factor that is changed o affect changes in the dependent (resulting) variable

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
