Energy Flashcards
What is force?
Force is a push or a pull that can change an objects position
What is work?
Work is the result of a force moving an object
What is motion?
Motion is the change in a position of an object
What is mass?
Mass is the amount of matter in an object
What is energy?
Energy is the ability to cause work or alter various things
What is kinetic energy?
Kinetic energy is the energy of motion
What is mechanical energy?
Mechanical energy is the energy of an object in motion
What is radiant energy?
Radiant energy is energy carried by light waves
What is thermal energy?
Thermal energy is energy associated with the movement of particles in a substance
What is potential energy
Potential energy is stored energy waiting to be used
What is elastic energy?
Energy stored in objects that can be stretched or compressed
What is gravitational potential energy?
Energy due to an objects position
What is an energy transfer?
The movement of energy from one form to another
Kinetic energy (KE) vs Mass
This shows the relationship between the energy of motion and the the mass of an object
if mass doubles, KE doubles
if mass triples, KE triples
if mass quadruples, KE quadruples
KE vs speed
This represents how KE changes with speed
If speed doubles, KE quadruples
If speed triples, KE sextuples
If speed quadruples, KE octuples
