Force Motion Energy (SOL)

Front

What is friction?

Back

Friction is a force that opposes the motion of an object when it comes into contact with another surface.

Front

Which surface creates more friction: carpet or metal?

Back

Carpet creates more friction than metal.

Front

What is kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy an object has due to its motion.

Front

What is potential energy?

Back

Potential energy is the stored energy in an object due to its position or state.

Front

Which material is likely to have the least friction: wood, cardboard, glass, or paper?

Back

Glass is likely to have the least friction.

Front

At which point on a roller coaster does a car have the most potential energy?

Back

A roller coaster car has the most potential energy at the highest point.

Front

What is the relationship between force and motion?

Back

Force causes an object to move or change its motion.

Front

What is an example of kinetic energy in everyday life?

Back

A moving car or a running person are examples of kinetic energy.

Front

What happens to potential energy as an object falls?

Back

As an object falls, its potential energy decreases while its kinetic energy increases.

Front

What is the formula for calculating kinetic energy?

Back

Kinetic energy (KE) = 1/2 mv², where m is mass and v is velocity.
