| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Kinetic | energy in motion |
| Potential | energy that is stored |
| Highest Potential Energy | At the top of a roller coaster |
| Lowest Potential Energy | At the lowest point of a roller coaster |
| Mechanical System | all the energy and objects found in an interaction |
| Conservation of Energy Law | energy is not created or destroyed |
| Gravitational Potential Energy | pulls the ball down in a pendulum to hit the other balls |
| Sound Energy | given off in a pendulum |
| Thermal Energy | given off with each hit in the pendulum; form of friction |
| Friction | the resistance that one surface or object encounters when moving over another |
| Newton's Cradle | demonstrates the relationship between force and energy |
| Energy | the ability to cause force to move through a distance |
| Transferred | energy is ____ from one form or object to another |
| Car's Energy | this kinetic energy is changed into other forms of energy like heat, light, and sound |
