| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Law of Conservation of Energy | States that energy can NEVER be created or destroyed! |
| Elastic Potential Energy | Energy stored when an object is compressed or stretched |
| Chemical Potential Energy | Energy stored in chemical bonds |
| Joule | SI unit of energy |
| Kinetic Energy | Energy a moving object has because of it's motion; depends on mass and speed of the object (KE = 1/2(Mass)(V)2 |
| Gravitational Potential Energy | Energy stored by objects due to their position above Earth's surface; depends on the distance above Earth's surface and the objects mass. (GPE = (Mass)(G 9.8)(Height) |
| Mechanical Energy | Sum of potential energy and kinetic energy in a system (PE + KE = ME) |
| Potential Energy | Stored energy an abject has due to it's position |
