Energy
the ability to do work
energy
energy that is stored
potential
4 types of Potential Energy
also referred to as heat energy
thermal
two types of mechanical energy
potential, kinetic
work done on an object gains
energy
energy that is moving
kinetic
5 types of kinetic energy
mechanical radiant electrical thermal sound
energy stored in the nucleus of an atom is called
nuclear energy
electric energy converts to what energy on a stove
thermal
energy doesn't ever
disappear
A large truck and a small car, which has greater kinetic energy
large truck
you add these to calculate mechanical energy
potential and kinetic energy
A reaction in which the nuclei of atoms join together
fusion
solar or light energy is also referred to as
radiant energy
measured in units called
joules
the type of energy sound is
kinetic
Potential energy that depends on height
gravitational potential energy.
this law states that energy can neither be destroyed or created
conservation
energy in the form of wave motion
sound
The rate at which energy is transferred is called
power
the energy transformation when natural gas is used to heat water
chemical into thermal
a spinning turbine has this type of energy
mechanical
your body converts chemical potential energy into what, to maintain body temperature
thermal energy
two kinds of nuclear energy
fusion, fission
