Which of the following is an example in which kinetic energy is converted into potential energy

A

Pulling a spring

21

22
Q

23
Q

When you rub your hands together and they heat up because of ______.

24
Q

Friction is a ____.

25
Friction is caused by the _____ of objects, liquids, solids and gas.
Resistance
26
Which type of friction acts on a parachute falling to the ground
Fluid
27
Viscosity is the characteristic of a fluid that resists _____
Flowing
28
The force that one surface exerts on another is called ______
Friction
29
When an object rolls over a surface what type of force is acting on it?
Rolling friction
30
What is the correct formula for weight
Mass x Gravity
31
Gravity is the force that determines the _____ of matter
Weight
32
Why do people weigh less on the moon
The moon has less gravitational pull
33
The gravitational pull between two object depends oh how far there ____ is apart
Center of Mass
34
are joules and N the same
yes
35
What is kinetic energy?
Kinetic energy is the energy of moving things.
36
What are some examples of kinetic energy?
a rolling ball, a swinging rope, a vibrating spring, small particles moving in matter
37
What are some examples of kinetic energy being transformed into potential energy?
Roller Coasters
38
What is the relationship between net force applied, mass, and change in motion of an object?
When a net force is applied to an object that has mass, the object will accelerate in the direction of the net force. If the forces acting on the object are balanced, there will be no acceleration.
39
What is potential energy and what are some examples of it?
Potential energy is energy that is stored in an object
40
If an object is moving in a constant speed and something pushed it, it would____.
Accelerate
41
What are two types of potential energy?
gravitational potential energy, chemical potential energy
42
What is the difference between potential energy and kinetic energy?
Potential energy is stored energy while kinetic energy is the energy of motion.
43
How does potential energy turn into kinetic energy?
A book resting on a table has potential energy. If it is moved to the edge of the table, it will fall to the ground.
