Physics Flashcards
What is kinetic energy?
The energy of motion, observable as the movement of an object or subatomic particle
What is potential energy?
A type of energy that is stored in an object due to its position relative to other objects.
What are some examples or Chemical Energy
Photosynthesis
Cellular respiration
Combustion
What is mechanical energy?
The energy of either an object in motion or the energy that is stored in objects by their position. Mechanical
What is Scalars and Vectors
Scalars are quantities that only have magnitude (or size), while vectors have both magnitude and direction
What is velocity?
The speed of something in a given direction.
How to do you calculate the velocity of an object?
Velocity =Distances/ intervals
What is thermal energy?
energy from fire
