What is Energy
Energy transferred/time
Power
a type of potential energy that is stored in the nucleus of an atom
Nuclear energy
The total energy of motion in the particles of a substance
Thermal Energy
An object resting on a shelf is said to have what type of energy
Potential, gravitational potential energy
A car moving doen the road is said to have what type of energy
Kinetic energy
The Ability to do work or cause change
Energy
the energy of stretched or compressed objects
Elastic Potential Energy
The energy of electric charges
Electrical energy
the law that states that energy cannot be created or destroyed but can be changed from one form to another
Law of conservation of energy

Student A
the energy an object has due to its motion
Kinetic energy
the form of energy associated with the motion, position, or shape of an object
mechanical energy
A form of energy that travels through space as waves
Electromagnetic energy
stored energy that results from the position or shape of an object
Poterntial Energy
