THIS IS ENERGY OF POSITION; IT INCREASES WITH HEIGHT
GRAVITATIONAL POTENTIAL ENERGY
SI UNIT FOR MEASURING ANY TYPE OF ENERGY.
JOULE

SOUND ENERGY
FUSION/FISSION; INVOLVES EITHER SMASHING ATOMS TOGETHER TO MAKE LARGER ATOMS, OR SPLITTING THE ATOM APART INTO 2 SMALLER ATOMS
NUCLEAR ENERGY
ENERGY OF MOTION; CAUSES OBJECTS TO MOVE.
KINETIC ENERGY
HEAT; Q=M•C•DELTA T
THERMAL ENERGY
ENERGY STORED IN CHEMICAL BONDS; PHOTOSYNTHESIS OR RESPIRATION IN ANIMALS ARE EXAMPLES
CHEMICAL POTENTIAL ENERGY
ENERGY THAT TRAVELS IN TRANSVERSE WAVES ACROSS SPACE; CARRIES LIGHT AND HEAT
RADIANT ENERGY
THIS EXPLAINS THAT THE PARTICLES OF MATTER MOVE AND THE WARMER THE TEMPERATURE,THE QUICKER THE PARTICLES MOVE.
KINETIC THEORY OF MATTER
STATE IF MATTER WHERE PARTICLES MOVE EXTREMELY FAST,LOSES ELECTRONS, AND PRODUCES ITS OWN LIGHT AND HEAT
PLASMA
THIS STATE OF MATTER HAS A DEFINITE VOLUME BUT IT TAKES THE SHAPE OF ITS CONTAINER
LIQUID
THE TEMP AT WHICH THE MOTION OF PARTICLES ,ATOMS AND ELECTRONS STOP
ABSOLUTE ZERO
STATE OF MATTER HAS AN INDEFINITE VOLUME AND SHAPE AND PARTICLES SPREAD APART FROM EACHOTHER
GAS
STARE OF MATTER WITH PARTICLES CLOSE TOGETHER ,MOVING IN FIXED POSITIONS AND HOLD ITS OWN SHAPE
SOLID
THE BUOYANT FORCE IN AN OBJECT IN A FLUID IS EQUAL TO THE WEIGHT OF TGE FLUID DISPLACED BY THE OBJECT. EXPLAINS WHY AN OBJECT FLOATS OR SINKS
ARCHIMEDES PRINCIPLE
MORE SPEED= LESS PRESSURE
LESS SPEED= MORE PRESSURE
EXPLAINS WHY PLANES FLY
BERNOULLI’S PRINCIPLE
