Circle the pictures that demonstrate kinetic energy.

________________ is the tendency of objects to keep doing what they are already doing; that is, for an object at rest to stay at rest and an object in motion to stay in motion.

If an object is at rest, what must be applied to get it moving?

B  acceleration

A  force

C speed

D mass

What two things do all forces have? (Pick TWO)

Which energy increases as an object falls?

Elastic energy

Potential energy

Kinetic energy

Thermal energy

Explain how the picture below connects to Newton's 1st Law of Motion.

The amount of kinetic energy in an object is determined by...

Speed and Velocity

Speed and height

Mass and Height

Mass and Speed

Potential energy depends on

height and speed

height and force 

What does the law of conservation of energy tell us?

Energy is created and destroyed all of the time.

Energy can not be created or destroyed.

Energy does not exist at all.  

Energy can be created but not destroyed.

Which of the following statements about speed and velocity is correct?

Only velocity includes the direction an object is traveling.

Speed describes how an object is changing its direction.

Speed and velocity both describe how an object is speeding up.
