what is kinetic energy?
stored energy
what is potential energy?

what is elastic energy?
the transfer of thermal energy from a warmer object to a cooler object
what is heat?
any change to a system
what is work?
kinetic energy depends on
what are mass and velocity?
the most common potential energy
what is gravitational potential energy?
a form of energy that travels in waves
what is electromagentic energy?
the measure of the average kinetic energy of the molecules of a substance
what is temperature?
a push or pull exerted on an object
what is force?
comets, moons, planets, and galaxies
what are LARGE objects with kinetic energy?
the energy of electric charges
what is electrical energy?
kinetic or potential energy associated with the motion or position of an object
what is mechanical energy?
the total kinetic and potential energy of the molecules in an object thermal energy
what is thermal energy?

what is examples of kinetic energy?
the kinetic energy formula
what is KE = mv^2/2?
five types of potential energy
what is elastic, gravitational, electrical, chemical, and nuclear?
energy stored in chemical bonds
what is chemical energy?
the direct transfer of kinetic energy from one substance to another substance that it is touching
what is conduction?
cells in body, matches to light candle and batteries
what is example of chemical energy?
describes an objects motion in terms of speed or direction and the rate at which velocity changes
what is velocity and acceleration?
energy stored in an object that has been lifted up against the force of gravity
what is gravitational potential energy?
energy stored in the nucleus of an atom
what is nuclear energy?
the difference between temperature and thermal energy
what is temperature only measures kinetic energy and thermal energy measures kinetic and potential energy of objects
the transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves and process of heat transfer in which warmer and cooler fluids move due to density
