Question | Answer |

Ability to do work and change matter | Energy |
SI unit for measuring energy | Joule |
3 main forms of energy | kinetic, potential, radiant |
form of energy involving the whole object moving | kinetic |
form of energy involving the forces acting upon an object | potential |
form of energy involving visible light and electromagnetic radiation | radiant |
energy from motion or forces that affect the whole object | mechanical |
energy from the motion and forces that affect atoms and molecules | nonmechanical |
law that states that energy and matter can neither be created nor destroy only transferred | law of conservation of matter and energy |
Formula for Kinetic Energy | KE= 1/2 mv(square) |
KE that refers to the entire object moving | whole-body KE |
KE that refers to the object not moving but changing positions | Translational KE |
KE that refers to spinning around an internal axis | Rotational KE |
True/False: Rotational motion is the same as circular motion | False (Is NOT the same as) |
What 2 factors increase rotational KE | Increasing mass or speed |
What 2 things can affect an objects rotational KE | Size and Shape of an object |
Deals with the individual molecules that are in constant motion | Kinetic Energy of matter |
energy formed from random motion in molecules | thermal energy |
energy caused by disturbances moving through a substance | wave energy |
