Energy, Machines, and Motion 1 through
Question | Answer |
---|---|
energy | ability to do work |
kinetic energy | energy in motion |
potential energy | stored energy |
energy conversion | change of energy from one form to another |
Law of Conservation of Energy | energy cannot be created or destroyed but changes from form to another |
weight | measure of the force of gravity pulling on a body |
mass | amount of matter in a body |
force | push or pull |
Newton (N) | unit of measure for force |
Net Force | total force acting on an object |
gravity | force of attraction between objects that is due to their masses and their distances from each other |
air friction | drag |
friction | force that opposes motion between two surfaces |
types of friction | static and kinetic |
types of kinetic | rolling and sliding |
mechanical energy | the total energy of motion and position of an object |
forms of energy | thermal, chemical, electrical, sound, light, nuclear |
fluid | something that flows and can take the shape of a container |
pressure | amount of force per unit area of surface |
Pascal's Principle | Pressure applied at one point in a system will be transmitted evenly throughout the system. |
Archimedes Principle | bouyant force on an object is an upward force= weight of the fluid displaced (object takes the place of) |
Bernoulli's Principle | When the speed of a fluid |
4 factors that affect flight | lift, thrust, drag, and gravity |
effort force | force you exerted to pull the block across the surface |
effort distance | distance you moved the block each time |
