Question
Answer
Energy of motion   Kinetic Energy  
🗑
To increase kinetic energy   Increase mass and velocity  
🗑
Rubbing your hands together friction converts   Mechanical energy into thermal energy  
🗑
A rolling bowling ball   has kinetic energy  
🗑
Stored energy   Potential energy  
🗑
Potential energy that depends on height   Gravitational potential energy  
🗑
A change from one form of energy to another   Energy transformation  
🗑
When two forces act in the same direction   They are added together  
🗑
The tendency to resist change in motion   inertia  
🗑
The greater the mass of an object   The greater its inertia  
🗑
The force of gravity pulling on an object   Weight  
🗑
To increase acceleration   Decrease mass  
🗑
The force that one surface exerts on another when they rug against each other   Friction  
🗑
Air resistance is a type of   Friction  
🗑
Forces are added   Only when they act on the same object in the same direction  
🗑
The amount of matter in an object   Mass  
🗑
Objects falling through air have a type of friction called   air resistance  
🗑
Balanced forces never change an object's   Motion  
🗑
When the distance between two objects is changing   It is in motion  
🗑
Speed equals distance divided ty   time  
🗑
Speed in a given direction   Velocity  
🗑
The rate at which velocity changes is   Acceleration  
🗑
A place or object used for comparison   Reference point  
🗑
If speed does not change the speed is   constant  
🗑
Object moving in the same direction at a constant speed did not change   Velocity  
🗑
Heat transferred from particle to particle without the movement of matter itself   conduction  
🗑
The transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves   radiation  
🗑
Heat transfer occurs   only from warmer to cooler ones  
🗑
Warm air rises from an bonfire by   convection  
🗑
Total distance divided by total time   Average speed  
🗑
If two objects travel at the same speed, they can have different velocities if they   travel in different directions  
🗑
Force that pulls falling objects toward Earth   gravity  
🗑
Acceleration is the change in speed per unit   time  
🗑
A factor that affects acceleration: (a = f/m)   force  
🗑
A motor heats up when it runs because   some energy is lost as heat due to friction  
🗑
Gasoline in a car is converted to   mechanical, heat and sound energy  
🗑
The transfer of energy from the sun is   Radiation  
🗑
Warmth from a fireplace is due to   radiation  
🗑


   

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.
