What is energy?
What is kinetic energy?
States that energy can be transformed from one form into another or transferred from one region to another, but energy cannot be created or destroyed.
What is the law of conservation of energy?
The energy in a battery
What is chemical energy?
The transfer of energy that occurs when a force makes an object move in the direction of the force while the force is acting on the object
What is work?
Stored energy due to the interactions between objects or particles
What is potential energy?
A force that resists the sliding of two surfaces that are touching
What is friction?
Energy that the sun gives off that travels to the earth in waves
What is radiant/light energy?
The sum of potential energy and kinetic energy in a system of objects
