| ex. cart is moving with speed, how do you make the cart move faster? what does that do? the higher the speed of the cart the more.... | to make the cart move faster you need to apply a force to it...you do some work which is stored energy.. energy it has because you have to do work to increase the speed |

| what happens if you throw a ball straight up in the air? | 1. the ball leaves you hand with... 2. as the ball gets higher... the blank gained can only come from blank.. the ball blanks down as it gets higher kinetic energy from the speed you give it and let it go, it gains potential energy, potential, kinetic ene |
| eventually all the kinetic energy has been blank to potential energy.. at this point the ball has reached as high as it will go and its blank has been blank to blank | converted, upward speed reduced to zero... |
| the ball falls back down again and gets blank and blank as it gets blank to the ground. | ...faster and faster closer |
| Where does the (lost/gain) in speed come from? | the gain in speed comes from the potential energy being converted black to kinetic energy |
| What would happen if there was no friction? | the ball would return to your hand the exactly the same speed it started with- except in the opposite direction |
| At any moment in flight, the ball has exactly..... what is the energy divided between? | the same amount of energy it had at the start, potential and kinetic, but the total is unchanged |
| law of conservation of energy still holds true, even when there is blank. What is some of the energy converted to? what happens to the heat converted? | friction, heat or wearing away of material, it's no longer available to be potential or kinetic energy butit was not destroyed |

| Newton's 1st law of motion? | An object at rest will remain at rest unless acted on by an unbalanced force. An object in motion will continue with constant speed and direction, unless acted upon by an unbalanced force "called inertia" |
| Newton's 2nd law of motion? | The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass. |
| Newton's 3rd Law of motion? | Whenever one object exerts a force on another, a second object exerts an equal and opposite force on the first. |
