| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| the ability to do work or cause change | energy |
| the energy an object has due to its motion | kinetic energy |
| stored energy that results from the position or shape of an object | potential energy |
| potential energy related to an object's height | gravitational potential energy |
| the potential energy associated with objects that can be stretched or compressed | elastic potential energy |
| the form of energy associated with the position and motion of an object | mechanical energy |
| the total potential and kinetic energy of the particles in an object | thermal energy |
| the energy of electrical charges | electrical energy |
| potential energy stored in the chemical bonds that hold chemical compounds together | chemical energy |
| a type of potential energy stored in the nucleus of an atom | nuclear energy |
| energy that travels in waves that have both electrical and magnetic properties | electromagnetic energy |
| a change from one form of energy to another | energy transformation |
| anything that has mass and takes up space | matter |
| states that when one form of energy is transformed to another, no energy is destroyed in the process | law of conservation of energy |
