UNIT 6 - ENERGY, WORK, & POWER Vocabulary Test

The work done on an object equals the change in kinetic energy of the object.

• Conservation of Energy

• Gravitational Potential Energy

• Kinetic Energy

• Work-Energy Theorem

The total energy of an object is called:

• Gravitational Potential Energy

• Kinetic Energy

• Mechanical Energy

• Potential Energy

When force and displacement are perpendicular:

• Negative Work

• Positive Work

• Zero Work

The rate of doing work:

• Joule

• Power

• Watt

A force applied to oppose the motion of an object is called:

• Negative Work

• Positive Work

• Zero Work

Energy stored by the object due to its position above the Earth's surface that is affected by the gravitational pull is called:

• Gravitational Potential Energy

• Kinetic Energy

• Mechanical Energy

• Potential Energy
