Science Topic 3 Flashcards
the ability to do work
energy
energy comes in forms including
electricity, light, sound
an object is in motion if…
it’s position changes compared to other objects
a force is..
a push or a pull
work is done anytime you ____ _____ on an object that causes the object to change it’s _______ in the same _______ in which you exert the ______.
exert force, motion, direction, force
rate at which work is done & it equals to the amount of work in a unit of time
power
force x distance
work
work/distance
force
work/time or force x distance/time or energy transferred/ time
power
the energy that an object possesses because of being in motion
kinetic energy
depends on both its speed and mass, the faster an object moves the more ____ ____ it has, increases as mass increases
factors affecting kinetic energy
kinetic energy of an object depends on both its _____ and its ____
speed, mass
the faster an object moves the more ______ _______ it has
kinetic energy
kinetic energy also _______ as mass _______
increases and increases
1/2 x mass x speed
kinetic energy
potential energy is _____ energy
stored
potential energy can turn into ______ _______-
kinetic energy
potential energy held by an object bc of its high position compared to a lower position
gravitational energy
energy stored as a result of applying a force to deform an elastic object. the energy is stored until the force is removed and its object springs back to its original shape doing work in the process
elastic potential energy
elastic potential energy is stored until the force is _________ and the object springs back to its original shape
removed
examples of elastic energy
spring, trampoline, rubber band, bow and arrow
mechanical energy- the energy an object has due to its _____, ________, ___________, or a combination of these factors
motion, shape, position
an objects mechanical energy equals the total of its ________ and ________ energy
kinetic, potential
potential energy stored in the nucleus that can be released through a nuclear reaction
nuclear energy
