BIG IDEAS
MS-PS3-1 Motion energy is properly called kinetic energy; it is proportional to the mass of the moving object and grows with the square of its speed. MS-PS3-2 A system of objects may also contain stored (potential) energy, depending on their relative positions. MS-PS3-3, MS-PS3-4 Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of particles of matter. The relationship between the temperature and the total energy of a system depends on the types, states, and amounts of matter present. I WILL BE ABLE TO EXPLAIN WHY....
When a car collides with a fire hydrant, the car stops suddenly. A train does not stop when it hits a car. A chair supports a person when she/he sits in it. A strong echo returns when you shout from the rim of the Grand Canyon. A pencil appears to bend when it is inserted into a cup of water. |
