What are Unbalanced Forces?

Back

Unbalanced forces are forces that cause an object to accelerate in a certain direction. They occur when the net force acting on an object is not zero.

Front

What are Balanced Forces?

Back

Balanced forces are forces that are equal in size but opposite in direction. They do not cause a change in the motion of an object.

Front

What is Chemical Energy?

Back

Chemical energy is the energy stored in the bonds of chemical compounds, like atoms and molecules. It is released or absorbed during a chemical reaction.

Front

What is Mechanical Energy?

Back

Mechanical energy is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy in an object. It is the energy associated with the motion and position of an object.

Front

What is Potential Energy?

Back

Potential energy is the stored energy in an object due to its position or state. It has the potential to be converted into kinetic energy.

Front

What is Kinetic Energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of an object in motion. It depends on the mass of the object and its velocity.

Front

What is Stored Mechanical Energy?

Back

Stored mechanical energy is the potential energy stored in an object when it is stretched or compressed, like in a spring or a rubber band.

Front

What is Gravitational Potential Energy?

Back

Gravitational potential energy is the energy an object possesses because of its position in a gravitational field, typically related to its height above the ground.

Front

What is the relationship between energy and motion?

Back

Energy is required to cause motion. When energy is transferred to an object, it can cause the object to move or change its speed.

Front

How does energy conversion occur in living organisms?

Back

Living organisms convert chemical energy from food into mechanical energy for movement and other functions.
