What is energy
What causes change
Light that travels through the form of a wave
Light energy
A rock

What is POTENTIAL energy?
Stored energy that has the potential to kinetic energy
This energy is stored until chemicals are combined
Chemical energy
A car moving
Kinetic
What is KINETIC energy?
Energy that is in the form of motion
This energy is stored inside the nucleus of an atom
Nuclear energy
Sandwich
Potential
You need gravity in this type of EP equation...
Ep = mgh
This energy is from the vibrations of atoms that create a wave.
Sound energy
A ice cube left out of the freezer
Potential
The way you solve a EP problem depends on...
If the mass or weight is kg or N
This energy forms from random vibrating atoms
Heat/Thermal energy
A ball falling to the ground
