Question
Answer
energy   the aability to cause change  
🗑
kinetic energy   is energy due to motion  
🗑
potential energy   is stored energy due to the interactions between objects or particles  
🗑
gravitational potentail energy   energy stored between an object and Earth depends on the objects weight and height  
🗑
elastic potential energy   energy stored in objects that are compressed or stretched, such as spring or rubber band  
🗑
chemical potential energy   is energy stored in the chemical bonds between atoms  
🗑
work   is the transfer of energy that occurs when a force is aplied over a distance  
🗑
mechanical energy   the total energy of an object or froup of objects due to large-scale motions and interactions  
🗑
sound energy   the energy that sound carries  
🗑
thermal energy   energy due to the motion of particles that make up an object  
🗑
electric energy   is the energy that an electric current carries  
🗑

🗑
nuclear energy   energy that is stored in the nucleus of an atom  
🗑
Example of mechanical energy   the mechanical energy of a basketball increases when a player shoots the basketball  
🗑
Example of sound energy   when you pluck a guitar string the string vibrates and produces sound  
🗑
example of thermal energy   when you heat objects, you transfer thermal energy to those objects from their surroundings. **fire**  
🗑
ecample of electric energy   and electric fan  
🗑
example of radiant energy   sun gives off energy that travels to Earth as electomagnect waves **light waves, microwaves, and radio waves***  
🗑
example of nuclear energy   the sun, nuclear energy is released when nuclei join toghter.  
🗑
law of conservation   energy can be transferred from one form into another, but energy cannot be created or destroyed.  
🗑
nonrenewable energy resource   ia an energy that is abailbale in limited amounts or that is used faster than it is replaced in nature  
🗑
fossil fuels   are the remains of ancient organisms that can be burned as an energy source  
🗑
what are some fossil fuels   coal, petroleum, and natural gases  
🗑
