Answer 20

The energy of motion

Question 21

Potential energy is

Answer 21

Energy that comes from a position

A wound spring and a toy car, a book sitting on top of the desk

Question 22

A magnetic field surrounds a magnet and is strongest

Answer 22

At the poles (not weakest), but the field force can be exerted around the entire magnet

Question 23

Heat energy makes molecules move

Answer 23

Faster and expand (take up more space)

Question 24

Colder molecules move

Answer 24

More slowly and cause most objects to contract (water is an exception)

Question 25

Seatbelts in a car were invented to address which scientific concept?

Answer 25

Inertia / newton’s first law of motion also known as the law of inertia states that an object at rest tends to stay at rest, and an object in motion tends to stay in motion at the same speed and in the same direction, unless acted on by an unbalanced force

Question 26

Centrifugal force is

Answer 26

Any force that causes an object to move in a circle. If you spin a bucket full of water around fast enough centrifugal force keeps the water moving in the circle and prevents it from pouring out
