Energy Flashcards
Energy that an object has due to its motion
Kinetic energy
The ability to do work or cause change
Energy
The energy an object has because of its position; also the internal stored energy of an object, such as energy stored in chemical bonds
Potential energy
Potential energy that depends on the height of an object
Gravitational potential energy
The energy of stretched or compressed objects
Elastic potential energy
Kinetic or potential energy associated with the motion or position of an object.
Mechanical energy
The potential energy stored in the nucleus of an atom.
Nuclear energy
The total kinetic and potential energy of all the particles of an object.
Thermal energy
The energy of electric charges.
Electrical energy
The energy of light and other forms of radiation, which travels through space as waves.
Electromagnetic energy
A form of potential energy that is stored in chemical bonds between atoms.
Chemical energy
A change from one form of energy to another; also called an energy conversion.
Energy transformation
The rule that energy cannot be created or destroyed.
Law of conservational energy
Stored energy and the energy of position is
