Question | Answer |
---|---|
the ability to do work, to cause a change, or to move an object | Energy |
the energy that an object has due to its motion | Kinetic Energy |
the stored energy that results from the position, condition, or shape of an object | Potential Energy |
related to the movement or flow of electrons which carry a charge | Electrical Energy |
related to the potential energy stored between the particles in the nucleus of an atom | Nuclear Energy |
related to the potential energy stored in the bonds between the atoms in a compound | Chemical Energy |

related to the motion of atoms or molecules in a substance | Thermal/Heat Energy |
related to the vibrations of an electrical charge or magnetic field that produces electromagnetic waves that can travel through a vacuum such as space | Light/Radiant Energy |
he potential energy a massive object has in relation to another massive object due to gravity. | Gravitational Energy |
energy stored in an object due to a force that temporarily changes its shape, such as squashing or stretching | Elastic Energy |
energy comes from vibrations moving through something | Sound Energy |
