A form of energy that is stored in the nucleus of atoms. | Nuclear |
The flow of electrons through a conductor. | Electrical |
A form of energy stored in the bonds holding atoms together. | Chemical |
A form of energy associated with heat. | Thermal |
Total Mechanical Energy is equal to | PE + KE |
ME = PE + KE, If PE increases then KE will? | Decrease |
ME = PE + KE, If KE increase then PE will? | Decrease |
Potential Energy is directly related to? | mass , gravity & height |
Kinetic Energy is directly related to? | mass & velocity (speed) |
Stored energy is | Potential Energy |
Moving energy is | Kinetic Energy |
Acceleration due to gravity on Earth is | 9.8 m/s^2 |
The formula for work is | Work = Force (F) x Distance (D) |
Work & Energy are both measured in | Joules (J) |
What variable, mass or velocity, has a bigger impact on Kinetic Energy & why. | Velocity because it is squared (v^2) |

Energy is never destroyed, but can be ___________ from one form to another. | Transformed |
Can you have gravitional potiential engery?_____? Why? | No, because there is no gravity |
An object traveling in space will not stop on its own since there is not _________ in space. | Friction |
What is the KE of an object at rest? | None since velocity is zero |
