Kinetic Energy | Anything that moves |
Potential Energy | Stored energy - not moving yet |
examples of potential energy | apple hanging on a tree |
examples of kinetic energy | Football in the air |
Friction | Resistance to motion caused by two objects moving against each other |
Examples of more friction | Brakes pressing against a tire, tire rubbing against the street,sandpaper, any rough surface that causes things to slow down |
Examples of less friction | wax paper, plastic wrap, aluminum foil, any smoother surface |
Examples of Increasing Force | heavier objects need more force to be moved |
Motion | described using Direction and Speed (Miles per Hour) |
Force | The push and pull that causes a change in motion |
Speed | a measure of the distance an object travels in a certain amount of time |
Examples of increasing speed | graphs: |
Mass | The more mass, the more force need to move it |
