energy
An object at rest may have
moving
An object that has kinetic energy must be
location
An object that has potential energy may have this energy because of its
mass, height, and acceleration

momentum
If an object has kinetic energy, then it must also have ____________
twice the usual output
If you do work on an object in half the time, your power output is
twice as much work
If you push an object just as far while applying twice the force, you do
twice as much work
If you push an object twice as far while applying the same force, you do
on the wall
If you push for an hour against a stationary wall, you do no work

the 60 km/h car
Which has greater kinetic energy, a car traveling at 30 km/h or a car of half the mass traveling at 60 km/h?
Both require the same amount of work.
