Potential Energy Vs Kinetic Energy Essay
Power is defined as derived from the utilization of physical or chemical resources, especially to provide light and heat or to work the machines. Energy has everything and anything to do with my project. It is a very important term to understand.
Energy is a very important factor that determines how far the cars I made for my project will go. This illustrates how if the car doesn't have enough kinetic energy the car won't go very far. According to my research, If work, which transfers energy, is done on an object by applying a net force, the object speeds up and thereby gains kinetic energy(Kinetic Energy) which will make my car go further. This illustrates how if there is more potential energy than kinetic energy the car won't go nearly as far as it could. According to my research, potential energy is stored energy that is waiting to be used(Potential Energy), so that means …show more content…
Newton's first law is the first law that relates to my project, and the first law states that if an object is at rest or moving at a constant speed in a straight line, it will remain at rest or keep moving in a straight line at a constant speed unless a force is acted upon it.(Newton's laws of motion) For example, if there was a car going at 5 miles per hour in a straight line the car will remain going 5 miles per hour unless a force is acted upon it like if another car crashed into the car. Newton's third law is the other law that has anything to do with my project, and the third law states that when two objects interact, they apply equal forces to one another in magnitude and opposite in direction.(Newton’s laws of motion) For example when someone is pedaling on a bike the pedals and chain interact, applying an equal force to one another. That's why when you pedal faster you go faster. Overall, all the information suggests that my cars seem to have a better chance at going
