| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Energy | The ability to to do work or cause change |
| motion | The sate in which one object´s distance from changing |
| force | A push or a pull exverted on an object |
| work | Force exverted on an object that causes it to move |
| power | The rate at which one form of energy is transfered to another |
| W= FxD | formula to calculate work: Work= force x distance unit is Nm or J |
| P= FxD/ T | Formula to calculate power: Power= fxd/T unit= watts |
| Kinetic Energy | Energy that an object has due to motion |
| Potential Energy | The energy an object has because of its position; also internal stored of an object |
| Gravitational Potetial energy | potentail energy that depends on the height of an object |
| Elastic Potentail energy | The energy transfers through space by elctromagnet waves |
| Mechanical Energy | Kenetic or potentail energy associated with the motion or position of an object |
| Nuclear Energy | The potentail stored in the ucleus of an atom |
| Thermal Energy | The total kinetic energy of particles of an object |
| Chemical Energy | A form of potentail energy that is stored in chemical bands between atoms |
| Electrical Energy | The energy of electric charges |
| Electromagnetic radiation | The energy transfered through space by electromagnetic waves |
