Across
- 4. the type of simple machine that a ramp is
- 7. energy of heat from tiny moving particles
- 8. a ball rolling ___ speeds up because the force of gravity is pulling it down
- 11. stored energy that can be used later
- 12. the more potential energy that is converted, the ___ the object moves
- 15. friction is a force that pushes against an object to ___ its motion
- 17. the differences in ___ between the turf hill and the lower courtyard ramp are examples of a confounding variable
- 19. muscular ___ is a group of diseases that cause muscles to become weak and get smaller over time
- 22. surface tilted at an angle that reduces force by increasing distance
- 23. friction is present whenever two ___ rub over each other
- 24. to calculate ___, you divide distance by time
- 25. ___ surfaces create more friction
- 26. gravity gets ___ the closer you are to the center of the Earth
Down
- 1. a force that opposes motion
- 2. this increases as potential energy turns into kinetic energy because the stored energy is changing into motion
- 3. the energy of moving things
- 5. sources of potential energy are considered ___ ___ and must be identified when performing risk assessments of an area
- 6. as something travels downhill, potential energy is ___ into kinetic energy
- 9. inclined planes can be useful when sending things downhill because ___ is working in your favor, but that same force is why moving uphill can be challenging
- 10. special type of inclined plane that works in a winding pattern around a cylindrical shaft
- 13. there are ___ main types of energy
- 14. aspects of the experiment that may have affected the results
- 16. cause changes to the motion of objects
- 18. the force that pulls things down towards the center of the earth
- 20. no surface is 100% perfectly ___
- 21. potential energy increases with ___, like at the top of a hill
