| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| energy | -the ability to do work or cause change |
| work | -when a force is used to move an object over a distance or cause change |
| force | -a push or pull |
| chemical energy | -energy that is stored in the particle of matter ( h20 , food,batteries plants ,ect) |
| mechanical energy | -energy of motion or moving parts (bicycle , wind turbine , oceans wave , wind , arms and legs |
| radiant energy | -energy that travels on invisible waves (sunlight (solar energy) heat from fires x ray , microwaves |
| thermal energy | -the energy that all matter has because its particles (atoms, molecules ) are in motion |
| electrical energy | -the energy that comes from moving electrons (can be static or current) |
| potential energy | -energy that is stored and ready to be used |
| kinetic energy | -energy that is working or in motion |
| law of conservation of energy | -energy can not be created or destroyed but it can be changed (transformation , converted ) to different form or transferred from one object or another |
| conserve | -to save in respect to energy it means that energy is never created or destroyed but always stays the same amount even when its transferred or transformed |
| transfer | -to move something from one place or one object to another -the same type of energy can passed along from one object to another |
| transform or convert | -other words that mean the same thing as the word change heat-the transfer or flow of thermal energy from a warmer object to a cooler object |
