| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| This is the energy which an object possesses due to its motion. | kinetic energy |
| This is the SI unit for measuring energy. | joule |
| What is the energy of an object or a system due to the position of the body or the arrangement of the particles of the system? | potential energy |
| This is potential energy stored as a result of deformation of an elastic object, such as the stretching of a spring. | elastic potential energy |
| This is energy that is stored in atoms and the bonds between atoms and can be released by various chemical reactions. | chemical potential energy |
| This says energy can never be created or destroyed, only transformed. | The law of conservation of energy |
| This is energy an object possesses because of its position in a gravitational field. | gravitational potential energy |
| This is the sum of energy in a mechanical system. This energy includes both kinetic energy(energy of motion) and potential energy(stored energy) | mechanical energy |
