| Energy State | Potential Energy & Kinetic Energy |
| Froce | The ability to do Work. |
| Work Calculations | W=Force x Distance. |
| Newton | The standard unit of force. |
| Newton Meters | A unit of the meter-kilogram-second . |
| Energy Transfer conversions/transformations | Law of conservation of energy (it cannot be created or destroyed). Energy changes from one state to another. |
| Friction | Surface resistance to relative motion, |
| Four factors | Soft surface,Lubricator,Wheels,Bump or Pits. |
| Energy in a closed system | Energy is consent inside the system. |
| Energy in an open system | Energy is transferred out side the system. |
| Wave | A distributes from that transfer energy one place to another. |
| Transverse waves | A wave in which the direction is perpendicular to the direction it came from. |
| Longitudinal waves | A wave that goes back at froth at a consent rate. |
| Crest | The highest point of a wave. |
| Trough | The lowest point of a wave. |
| Medium | The object it goes through. |
| Vacuum | A space entirely devoid of matter. |
| Electromagnetic waves | A wave produced by the acceleration of an electric charge. |
| Mechanical waves | A wave that transfers energy through a medium. |
| Vibration | The motion of the particles |
| Wavelength | The distance of waves. |
| Amplitude | The absolute value. |
| Pitch | To set up. |
| Frequency | The number of cycles |
| Speed -calculations | speed = distance / time |
