| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| energy a moving object has because of its motion; depends on the mass and speed of the object. | Kinetic energy |
| Si unit of energy | Joule |
| stored energy an object has due to its position | Potential energy |
| Energy energy stored when an object is compressed or stretched | Elastic potential energy |
| energy stored in chemical bonds | chemical potential energy |
| energy stored by objects due to their position above earth's surface depends on the distance above Earth's surface and the object's mass | gravitational potential energy |
| sum of the potential energy and kinetic energy in a system | Mechanical energy |
| States that energy can never be created or destroyed | Law of conservation of energy |
