| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| the transfer of energy that occurs when a force is applied over a distance (force x distance) | work |
| make a change in form | transform |
| the movement of electrons through a wire | electrical kinetic energy |
| Stored energy due to position or the arrangement of particles in an object | potential energy |
| energy of motion | kinetic energy |
| the ability to create change or do work | energy |
| Electromagnetic energy that travels in vertical waves | radiant (light) kinetic energy |
| the vibration and movement of the atoms and molecules within a substance | thermal (heat) kinetic energy |
| Waves of energy that move through substances in longitudinal waves or vibrations | sound kinetic energy |
| the movement of objects and substances from one place to another | mechanical kinetic energy |
| law that states energy cannot be created or destroyed; it is only transformed or transferred. | Law of Conservation of Energy |
