    Force, Motion, and Energy Study Guide

    Work: the force used to move something

    Energy: the ability or power to do work

    There are 2 basic types of energy:

    A. Kinetic: the energy gotten from a moving object. A car going


    down a hill has kinetic energy.

    B. Potential: energy waiting to be used (stored energy). A ball


    waiting to be dropped. The heavier an object is or the higher it
    is gives it more potential energy

    Force: any push or pull that causes an object to move, stop, or change speed
    or direction
    Friction: a resistance to motion because objects are rubbing against each other.
    Friction causes heat. Bike or car brakes use friction to slow them
    down.
    Inertia: when your body is riding in a car and the brakes are slammed on your
    body keeps moving forward that is inertia. Another example is when
    you are sitting on a sled and your dad jerks on the rope and you fall
    back (stay at rest) because of inertia.
    gravity: an unseen force that pulls two objects toward each other

    Heat Energy- moving molecules where the heat finds cold and the cold finds heat.

    Light Energy- energy of light

    Sound Energy- Traveling vibrations that we can hear.

    Electrical Energy- “moving electrons” that can be plugged into electricity. Most
    electrical energy can be CONVERTED into another form of
    electricity.

    Mechanical energy: motion energy made by machines. When you turn a pencil
    sharpener, you are using mechanical energy.
    Chemical energy: when chemicals are put together and they give off energy it is
    chemical like in a battery. Energy from burning materials is
    also chemical. Energy stored for later use such as food
    (calories)

    Sources Of Energy

    Where does energy come from?

    1. Sun- the Sun’s heat (collected by using solar panels) is used to produce
    electricity and heat.

    2. Water- HYDROELECTRIC power is water flowing from high places to low


    places. That produces electricity.

    3. Fossil Fuels- Oil, coal, and natural gas which are made out of fossils of ancient
    plants and animals. These are burned to produce electricity.

    4. Wind- Windmills or wind turbines use moving air to produce electricity.

    5. Wood- Wood is burned for heat and for cooking.

    6. Geothermal- steam is created when water is heated underground. It is used to


    make heat and electricity.

    7. Nuclear- energy is released when atoms break apart. This “explosion” produces
    electricity.
