What is the fundamental principle behind the Law of Conservation of Energy?
What is the fundamental principle behind the Law of Conservation of Energy?
Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another.
How does the force required to accelerate an object change with respect to its mass?
How does the force required to accelerate an object change with respect to its mass?
The greater the mass, the more force is needed to accelerate it.
What is the difference between speed and velocity?
What is the difference between speed and velocity?
Speed is a measure of how fast something is moving, while velocity is speed with a direction.

Study Notes
Types of Energy
- Kinetic energy: energy of motion, anything that moves has kinetic energy
- Potential energy: stored energy due to position or state, e.g. a rock at the top of a hill has gravitational potential energy
- Chemical energy: energy stored in chemical bonds, e.g. in food or batteries
- Thermal energy: energy related to the temperature of an object, hotter objects have more thermal energy
- Electrical energy: energy from the flow of electric charge
- Nuclear energy: energy stored in the nucleus of atoms
Motion
- Speed: how fast something is moving, calculated by distance / time
- Velocity: speed with a direction, e.g. 60 km/h north
- Acceleration: change in velocity over time, can be speeding up, slowing down, or changing direction
Newton's Laws of Motion
- First Law (Inertia): an object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion unless acted on by a force
- Second Law (F=ma): force equals mass times acceleration, greater mass requires more force to accelerate
- Third Law (Action-Reaction): for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction
