100

This is the ability to do work or cause change

What is energy

100

This is the energy of Motion

What is kinetic energy

100

This is what enables energy to do it's work

What is fuel

100

This form of energy is felt as heat.

What is thermal energy

100

This is Kinetic Energy + Potential Energy

What is Mechanical Energy

200

It takes energy for this to occur

What is motion

200

This energy has the potential to transform into Kinetic Energy

What is Potential Energy

200

This is a push or pull

What is force

200

THis is energy that results from an objects position or shape

What is Potential energy

200

This is where Nuclear Energy is stored

What is the nucleus of an atom

300

DAILY DOUBLE !!!

This is what force X distance enables

What is work

300

This is the type of energy that can be stored in bunge cords, springs, or an arrow drawn to a bow

What is Elastic Potential Energy

300

DAILY DOUBLE!!!

This is the formula for Power

What is work/time

300

This is the type of energy associated with objects that can be compressed or stretched

What is Elastic Potential Energy

300

This results when chemical bonds are broken

What is Chemical Energy

400

This is work over a period of time

What is power

400

This is equal to an object's weight X it's height above the ground

What is Gravitational Potential Energy

400

This is the units energy is measured in

What are joules

400

This type of energy is related to an objects vertical position - how high it is above the ground

What is Gravitational Potential Energy

400

This is the total of kinetic and potential energy of particles in an object

What is Thermal Energy

500

This is the formula for Kinetic Energy

What is 1/2 x Mass x (Speed squared)

500

This is what Kinetic energy is dependent upon

What is mass and speed of Kinetic energy

500

The amount of work you do depends on this

What is the force you exert and the distance the object moves

500

This is when an objects position changes relative to another object

What is motion

500

This is a form of Kinetic Energy that travels through space in waves

What is Electromagnetic Radiation
