The capacity to do work or produce change.

Energy Transformation

The process of changing energy from one form to another (e.g., potential to kinetic).

Law of Conservation of Energy

Scientific rule stating that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed or transferred.

The energy of motion; anything moving possesses this energy

Stored energy based on an object's position, composition, or condition.

The sum of an object’s kinetic and potential energy; the energy of position and motion.

Energy stored in the bonds of atoms and molecules, released during chemical reactions (e.g., food, batteries, fuel).

The internal energy of a substance due to the random movement of its atoms and molecules.

Energy delivered by tiny charged particles called electrons, moving through a conductor.

Electromagnetic energy that travels in transverse waves (e.g., sunlight, X-rays).

Energy stored in the nucleus of an atom, released by splitting (fission) or joining (fusion) atoms

Gravitational Potential Energy

Energy stored in an object due to its height above the ground.

Potential energy stored in objects that can be stretched or compressed (e.g., springs, rubber bands).

The movement of energy through substances in longitudinal waves, produced by vibrations.

A process that transforms radiant energy (light) into chemical energy (glucose).

A machine that transforms kinetic energy (mechanical work) into electrical energy

A force that opposes motion, often converting kinetic energy into wasted thermal energy.

A measure of how much useful energy is produced compared to the total energy input.

A chemical reaction that converts chemical energy (fuel) into thermal and radiant energy.

A device that transforms electrical energy into kinetic/mechanical energy.
