The ability to do work or cause change
Energy
The energy of an object due to its motion
Kinetic energy
The energy an object has due to it's position, condition, or chemical composition
Potential energy
Turning light from the sun into energy inside a plant by photosynthesis is an example of ______ energy
Chemical
The total kinetic energy of the particles in an object
Thermal energy
Energy can be heard as
Sound
Kinetic energy depends on:
An object's mass and speed
The potential energy in a molecule that is released during a chemical change
Chemical energy
The sum of an object's potential energy and kinetic energy
Mechanical energy
A measure of the average kinetic energy of all the particles in an object
Temperature
Energy can be seen as
Light
As the mass of an object increases the kinetic energy of an object:
Increases
The energy stored in an object as the result of it's vertical position or height
Gravitational potential energy
Energy stored in the nucleus of an atom from fission or fusion
Nuclear energy
The faster the particles move in an object the greater the:
Thermal energy
All energy is either
Potential energy or kinetic energy
As the speed of an object increases the kinetic energy of an object:
Increases
The energy stored as a result of expansion or contraction of an elastic object
Elastic energy
Kinetic energy caused by the vibration of particles in a medium such as steel, water, or air
Sound energy
As the kinetic energy of the atoms in an object decreases, the state of the object will change from a ________ to a ________ to a ________
Gas to liquid to a solid
What can have energy?
Everything in the Universe
Can objects have kinetic and potential energy at the same time? Explain.
Yes.
What are the 4 types of potential energy?
