Physics 1
The rate at which velocity changes; the rate at which speed changes over time
Acceleration
The attractive force between objects; the force that moves objects downhill
Gravity
Energy an object has due to its motion
Kinetic Energy
The total kinetic and potential energy of all the particles of an object
Thermal Energy
A change from one form to another; energy conversion
Energy Transformation
A push or pull exerted on an object
Force
A measure of how much matter is in an object
Mass
The energy an object has because of its position; also the internal stored energy of an object such as battery
Potential Energy
Potential energy stored in the nucleus of an atom
Nuclear Energy
The rule that energy cannot be created or destroyed
Law Of Conservation Of Energy
A unit of measure that equals the force required to accelerate 1 kilogram of mass at 1 meter per second per second
Newton
A measure of the force of gravity acting on an object
Weight
The potential energy of an object that depends on the height of the object
Gravitational Potential Energy
Energy of electric charges
Electrical Energy
The total kinetic and potential energy of all the particles in an object
Thermal Energy
The overall force on a object when all the individual forces acting on it are added together
Net Force
The tendency of an object to resist a change in motion
Inertia
The potential energy of stretched or compressed object
Elastic Potential Energy
The energy of light and other forms of radiation that can travel through space as waves
Electromagnetic Energy
The transfer of thermal energy from warm objects to cooler objects
Heat
The force that two surfaces exert on each other when they rub against each other
Friction
The ability to do work or cause change
Energy
Kinetic or potential energy associated with the motion or position of an object
Mechanical Energy
Energy stored in chemical bonds between atoms
Chemical Energy
The transfer of energy along electromagnetic waves
Radiation
