How is potential and kinetic energy alike?
Both include motion. Kinetic energy is an object put into motion and potential energy is the energy an object has when it's still or at rest.
What are the forces that resist outside forces?
They are inertia and momentum. If an object is in motion it tends to "try" to stay in motion, and an object at rest does the same to stay put. The forces still act on it, although the forces are slightly weaker.
How can an object be put into motion naturally?
An object needs to have some sort of force exerted on it to be put into motion. There are no "unnatural" forces, therefore any object put into motion will have been done so "naturally."
Would there have to be an Unbalanced force acting on moving object?
There would have to be an unbalanced force put an object in motion but once in motion no force is necessary for it to remain in motion
What do you put on the horizontal line when graphing the motion of an object?
time
What are some forces that affect an object motion?
an object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon another force. so really any thing could put somthing in motion. your hand, a car,train?
Newton's first law of motion examples?
You are at rest when driving a car. Your car is in motion but you are not in motion. When you hit the brakes, you quickly go forward but your seat-belt will stop you from flying out of the windshield. Also if you do not put your seat-belt on then you will get a ticket.
2 When you graph the motion of an object you put?
Time and Speed Time and Speed
Do all objects have internia?
Yes. Inertia is the tendency of a body to maintain its state of rest or uniform motion unless acted upon by an external force. So, whenever you put force on an object, it has inertia. Although, if an object isn't in motion, it still has inertia. If you still have questions, go to this website: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inertia
Does friction stop thing from moving?
Friction can stop an object in motion eventually. Friction causes drag on the object's motion energy and slows the object down by transferring the energy from one type to another. When the energy which acted on the object to put the object in motion is fully transferred, the object's motion will stop in the direction the motion and friction are applied. An example of this type of friction is the brake on a car. Friction can, however cause the object to change the direction of motion and simply stop affecting the object afterward. An example of this type of friction is the bumper rail of a pool table.
Why heavier body needs greater initial effort to put them in motion?
Heavier body have grater mass which leads to greater force requirement to put them in motion. Force is given by F=ma Therefore, if m is greater than required force F is greater. Secondly, the inertia of rest of heavier object is greater than the lighter object hence the greater initial effort is required
How does energy change from potenial energy to kinetic energy?
A object falling form a height, h. At h it has graventational potential energy and when it starts to fall this energy tranferes into kenetic.ability toput mass of any sort into a motion of accelleration therefore resulting in having potential of producing kenetic energy into said mass
