What happens when a force is applied to an object but it does not move?

No work is done on the object

What is the energy associated with the motion of an object?

Kinetic energy

What happens to the kinetic energy of an object when it performs work on another object?

It decreases

Which of the following is directly proportional to the object's mass and the square of its speed?

Kinetic energy

What is the basis for understanding momentum?

The concept of a massive object possessing more kinetic energy than a lighter object

What happens to the kinetic energy of a roller coaster as it descends?

Increases

What is the fundamental principle behind the transfer of energy from one object to another?

Energy is neither created nor destroyed, but only changes from one form to another or from one body to another

What type of force is responsible for the potential energy of an object?

Conservative force

What is the condition for the law of conservation of mechanical energy to be applicable?

When only conservative forces act on the system

What is the formula to calculate the gravitational potential energy of an object?

PE = mgh

What is the energy stored in the chemical bonds of different substances?

Trucks can deliver the same amount of work in a shorter time

Why do some people prefer running as a better exercise for weight loss?

Running does the same amount of work in a shorter time

What happens to the kinetic energy of a falling ball?

It is converted to thermal energy
