        Help!  

Term
Definition
Acceleration   change in an object’s motion (position, direction, speed)  
🗑
Average Speed   the total distance traveled by an object over a total amount of time  
🗑
Balanced Force   equal and opposite forces on an object that result in no change in position, direction, or motion  
🗑
Constant Speed   when an object’s speed remains unchanged  
🗑
Displacement   how far an object has moved from its original position  
🗑
Kinetic Energy   energy of motion  
🗑
Potential Energy   stored energy of an object because of its position or shape  
🗑
Unbalanced Force   unequal forces on an object that may result in a change in position, direction, or motion  
🗑
Acceleration   caused by unbalanced forces  
🗑
Displacement   the difference between the final and initial positions  
🗑
Chemical Energy   energy stored in the bonds of atoms and molecules of substances  
🗑
Elastic Energy   stored in objects by force  
🗑
Electrical Energy   movement of electrons  
🗑
Energy   the ability to cause change or do work  
🗑
Energy Conservation   management of the use of energy resources  
🗑
Energy Resources   natural resources that can be used as a source of energy to do work  
🗑
Energy Transformations   process of energy changing from one form to another  
🗑
Law of Conservation of Energy   states that energy is neither created or destroyed; it only changes form (transforms)  
🗑
LIght Energy   energy from light waves  
🗑
Mechanical Energy   movement of objects or substances from one place to another  
🗑
Nonrenewable   natural resources that cannot be replaced once depleted

🗑
Conduction   the transfer of heat energy by direct contact  
🗑
Convection   the movement caused within a fluid by the tendency of hotter material to rise, and colder, denser material to sink creating a current  
🗑
Transform   changing from one form to another (e.g., energy transformation)  
🗑
Chemical Energy   food, biomass, petroleum, natural gas, and propane  
🗑
Elastic Energy   stretched rubber band or balloon  
🗑
Electrical Energy   electrons moving through wires is electricity; lightning  
🗑
LIght Energy   electromagnetic waves like solar and light bulbs  
🗑
Nonrenewable   oil, coal, natural gas, nuclear

🗑
Thermal Energy   associated with the temperature of substances  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
