| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| energy | ability to do work or cause change |
| power | rate of transfer of energy |
| nuclear energy | type of energy that is stored in molecules of an atom and are released through fusion and fission |
| potential energy | energy due to position or shape |
| elastic potential energy | energy that relates to objects that can be compressed or stretched |
| kinetic energy | energy due to motion |
| gravitational potential energy | energy that increases as height increases |
| elastic potential energy | energy stored in a rubber band or hair tie |
| speed and mass | factors that impact kinetic energy |
| law of conservation of energy | states that energy cannot be created or destroyed- only transferred from one type to another |
| mechanical energy | combination of kinetic and potential energy (kinetic energy + potential energy) |
| gravitational potential energy | weight X height |
| electromagnetic energy | energy that travels through space as waves |
| mechanical energy | energy associated with motion, position , or shape |
| electrical energy | energy from electric charges from movement of electrons |
| thermal energy | potential and kinetic energy due to the fast or slow movement of molecules in an atom |
| gravitational potential energy | energy in a roller coaster car at the top of a hill |
| thermal energy | type of energy that friction creates |
| electrons | particles that are moving in a current to create electrical energy |
| movement of molecules in a solid | molecules are packed tightly and vibrate in place |
| movement of molecules in a liquid | molecules slide past each other |
| movement of molecules in a gas | molecules move quickly in straight lines |
