the tendency of an object to resist a change in motion
What is inertia
the total kinetic and potential energy of all particles of an object
What is thermal energy
an object at rest will remain at rest or in uniform motion unless compelled to change its state by an external force
Newtons First Law of Motion
Substances that undergo chemical changes
What are reactants
energy that is stored in a person or object
Potential Energy
This type of energy is generated by a force-push or pull
What is mechanical energy
the measure of average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance
What is temperature
