Energy Assessment

Front

What is motion?

Back

The change in an object's position or orientation over time relative to a reference point.

Front

What is mechanical energy?

Back

The energy an object has due to its motion (kinetic energy) or its position (potential energy).

Front

What is mass?

Back

The amount of matter in an object, essentially how much 'stuff' is present within it.

Front

What happens to kinetic energy at the bottom of a hill on a roller coaster?

Back

It has high kinetic energy.

Front

What is a conductor?

Back

A material that allows electricity to flow through it easily.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

The energy stored in an object due to its position or state.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

The energy an object possesses due to its motion.

Front

What is the relationship between mass and energy?

Back

Mass can be converted into energy, as described by Einstein's equation E=mc².

Front

What is the law of conservation of energy?

Back

Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another.

Front

What is an insulator?

Back

A material that does not allow electricity to flow through it easily.
