| Science SOL 4.2 Energy and Motion |
| What is intertia? Inertia is Sir Issac Newton's first LAW OF MOTION. It states that an object at rest will remain at rest; an object in motion will stay in motion. How do you SAY the word inertia? It is pronounced EE-NUR-SHA. What is motion? Motion is the force that causes an object to move or stay still. |
| Want to make your OWN roller coaster? Do you know the difference between potential and kinetic energy? |
| Practice creating more potential and kinetic energy! |
| What is potential energy? Potential energy is stored energy. It has the "potential" to move. For example (the top of a roller coaster hill) |
| What is kinetic energy? Kinetic energy is energy in motion. For example (as you are rolling down the hill on a roller coaster) |
