Measured in Joules (J) Or newton-meters N-m. Exert a force over a distance and cause a change

Heat energy made when things move fast inside (like boiling water)

Energy derived from the nucleus of the atom.

The energy an object has due to is motion or position. The sum of the kinetic and potential energy of an object ME=KE+PE

Energy stored in chemical bonds that is released during a chemical reaction.

Gravitational Potential Energy

Energy an object has due to its position in a gravitational field. Like a rock perched on the side of a cliff.

Elastic Potential Energy

Energy that is stored as a result of deforming it by stretching, compressing, or twisting an elastic object (before letting go). Like pulling back on a sling shot.

A medium is the physical environment that allows energy to be transferred. Examples are water, air, metal. It can be a solid, liquid or gas .

Electromagnetic Radiation

A type of energy that travels in waves and can move through space. It includes things like light, radio waves, microwaves, X-rays, etc. All of it moves at the speed of light and doesn't need air to travel.

The largest amount or other measure, possible.

Conservation of Energy

Energy cannot be created nor destroyed

Energy derived from the movement of charged particles, such as electrons, through an electric field

A type of kinetic energy derived from the sun or other light source. Solar Panels It is a type of kinetic energy that can be seen by the human eye and comes from sources like the sun, stars, and light bulbs. (is a form of electromagnetic radiation tha

The shift in position of an object relative to another

the transfer of energy that occurs when a force moves an object over a distance. Measured in Joules (J) Or newton-meters N-m.

is the rate of energy transfer or work done over a specific period of time.
