6th Grade Unit 5 Lessons 1-3

The ability to cause change is 

• mass
• energy
• acceleration
• average speed

This is the energy of motion.

• kinetic energy
• potential energy
• Joules
• position

Energy is measured in 

• newtons
• MPH
• Km
• joules

This is stored energy in an object.

• newtons
• kinetic energy
• potential energy
• reference point

This is the kinetic energy plus the potential energy of an object.

• law of conservation
• mass
• mechanical energy
• thermal energy

This describes the location of an object.

• reference point
• position
• motion
• average speed

This is a location to which you compare other locations.

• position
• speed
• acceleration
• reference point

This is a change is position over time.

• reference point
• motion
• speed
• position

What is the average speed of the object?
Distance = 20 meters
time = 5 seconds

• 100 m/s
• 25 m/s
• 4 m/s
• 10 m/s

What two things does velocity describe?

• speed and mass
• direction and position
• speed and direction
• reference point and position
