A force is a push or a pull. It's source could be:Choose all that apply Newtons gravitational directional magnetic electrical velocity muscular magnitude A vector shows: force direction magnitude magnitude and direction magnitude and force Force is measured in: Kilograms Newtons Joules Velocity Direction What happens toward the end of the video? girl falls off the ropes girl opens her eyes the rope breaks Potential and Kinetic Energy The Law of Conservation of Energy says: Energy can be converted from one form to another Energy can be destroyed Energy can be created Potential energy is energy: due to motion due to velocity due to position due to force Kinetic energy is energy: due to motion due to velocity due to position due to force Sort it Out! Classify each picture as potential or kinetic energy. Drag and drop each picture into the correct column. Potential Kinetic Match it Up! Match each word to its best description. Potential energy Stored energy Kinetic energy Energy of motion Gravitational potential energy Increases as an object's height increases Chemical potential energy Held in the bonds between atoms An increase in speed is an increase in kinetic energy Pushing down on a spring compresses it as shown in the diagram.This increases the _ energy of the spring. kinetic potential chemical electrical At which position does the cart have the greatest potential energy and the least kinetic energy? A B C D As the skateboarder travels down the hill, his kinetic energy _. will decrease will increase will remain the same will transfer to potential energy
