What is energy?? The capacityof one object or system to do work or cause a change on another. What is the principle of the conservation of energy?? The energy of a closed system always remains constant; energy can never be created or destroyed, only transferred. What form of energy is due to the motion of a mass?? Kinetic energy. What form of energy is due to the position of a mass in a gravitational field?? Gravitational potential energy.

What types of forces alter an object?? A pair of equal and opposite forces. Why do you need to equal and opposite forces to alter an object?? Because otherwise you’d just move the object. When you’re sitting on a chair, you’re compressing it. What are the two forces in action?? Your weight The normal reaction from the ground What are forces that produce extension called?? Tensile forces. What are forces that shorten or compress an object called?

What is Archimedes' principle?? The upthrust on an object in a fluid is equal to the weight of fluid displaced. What is the force of upthrust on a boat?? The weight of water that the boat displaces. In , why is there a resultant force upwards?? Pressure increases with depth. There is more pressure on the bottom of the object. In , why is there pressure on the sides?? Pressure is just particles bumping into the side, so particles bump into the side too.

What is special about the horizontal and vertical components of a projectile?? They can be treated seperately. If you have two bullets, one which is fired from a completely level gun and one that is dropped at the exact same height and time as the other bullet being fired, which lands first?? They both land at the same time. Why do two bullets, one fired from a gun and one stationary, hit the ground at the same time?
