Day 1
What is Energy? The ability of an object to produce a ___________ in itself or its environment It is a measure of the capacity to produce change. Sometimes ___________ is associated with change Work _____________ energy, but energy can also be transferred by ________ and _____________. Can Energy be Created? Law of Conservation of Energy- Energy ______________ be created or destroyed Total amount of energy is constant Energy can only be _________ or _______________. What is the earths primary energy source? ___________ The sun releases the energy stored in atoms through _____________ Fusion combines the atoms of an element to create a different element Energy is transferred to earth by _____________ (INSOLATION) Electromagnetic waves like light ____________ frequency higher __________ The sun _______________________________________________________ How else can energy transfer? ___________transfers energy Work is a Force that causes displacement (moves an object a distance) W=Fxd Whenever work is done there is ____________ Friction always __________ motion and causes energy ____to the environment How else can energy transfer? _________also transfers energy Heat is energy transferred between objects at different temperatures Higher temp faster atoms ------ Lower temp slower atoms The random motion of atoms is ______________ Energy Thermal Energy Virtually every energy transfer involves friction and temperature differences Some energy is always lost to the _______________ as _____________ energy We try to counteract this by designing more efficient devices How is energy stored? ____________ energy is the energy stored in the ___________ of objects Any object in motion has stored energy KE = mass x velocity2 KE energy increases greatly with __________ Thermal Energy is just energy stored in the kinetic energy of atoms ____________energy is energy _________ because of an objects _____________ Examples If you stretch a rubber band, it has more energy than its starting position An object at a high position has more energy than same object at a low position An electron in a higher orbit has more energy than it did in a lower orbit ____________ and _______________ are also forms of potential energy

Day 2
Force and Motion Rolling Ball Grand Prix 1. Describe the balls motion in the no touch zone. _____________________________________ 2. What does the ball do in the corners or around the loop if you dont push it? _______________ 3. What can you say in general about the motion of an object that has no force? _____________ ______________________________________________________________________________ This is basically Newtons 1st Law of Motion An object at ______ tends to _______ at rest and an object in ___________ tends to _________ in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an _________________ force This is also called the _________________ Inertia is an objects _______________ to a _____________ in motion Mass is a measure of inertia 4. How did you get the ball to speed up or slow down? ___________________________________ 5. How did you get the ball to change direction? ________________________________________ 6. What would you need to do differently if the ball was twice as large (had twice the mass)? ____ ______________________________________________________________________________ Force is any _______ or _______ on an object To change the balls motion, you applied force Acceleration (a) is the rate of _______________________ Velocity is an objects _________ and ______________ Force causes acceleration which changes speed or direction Mass measures inertia, or ___________________ ______ mass, less __________________ Force Acceleration This is the 2nd Law of Motion: mass Increase force increase acceleration F or a Increase mass decrease acceleration m Forceis measuredin Newtons(N) 7. Which of the following would require the least amount of force, if applied to the same ball? ___ 8. What would happen if two objects were racing on the same track and they collided? _________ ______________________________________________________________________________ Force - Net Force = sum of all force vectors Balanced ForcesNo Net Force What happens? _________________________________________________________________ Unbalanced ForcesNet Force What happens? _________________________________________________________________ Types of forces: ___________ forces- forces that happen when two objects touch (Ex. _________________, Tensional, Normal, Air Resistance, Applied and Spring Forces) _________ Forces- objects dont touch but they still push or pull each other (Action-at-adistance) (Ex. ____________________, Electrical and Magnetic Forces) Gravitational Force Any object with mass creates gravitational force ______ mass, more __________ The ____________the object, the _________ the force The force decreases rapidly as distance increases. Electrical force and magnetism are the same as gravity in varying with distance
