| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| energy | the ability to do work or cause change |
| kinetic energy | energy that an object has due to its motion |
| potential energy | the energy an object has because of its position also the internal stored energy of an object, such as energy stored in chemical bonds |
| gravitational potential energy | potential energy that depends on the height of a object |
| elastic potential energy | the energy of stretched or compressed objects |
| mechanical energy | kinetic or potential energy associated with the motion or position of an object |
| nuclear energy | the potential energy stored in the nucleus of an atom |
| thermal energy | the total kinetic and potential energy of all partials of an object |
| electrical energy | the energy of eletrical changes |
| electromagnetic energy | the energy of light and other forms of radiation which travels through space waves. |
| chemical energy | a form of potential energy that is stored in chemical bonds between atoms |
| energy transformation | a change from one form of energy to another, also called energy conversion |
| law of conservation of energy | the rule that energy cannot be created or destroyed |
