Science 9. Jakob Ruhl

friction

a force that resists the relative motion of two objects or substances sliding against one another

sound energy

a form of energy that is made by vibrations traveling as waves and requires a medium

Radiant energy

electromagnetic waves given off by a source into surrounding environment

chemical potential energy

energy available for release in chemical bonds

electrical energy

energy produces as a result of moving electric charges

elastic potential energy

energy stored as a result of deformation of an elastic object

Conservation of energy

principle stating that energy is neither created or destroyed in an ordinary chemical of physical process

energy

the ability of a system to do work or produce heat

Kinetic energy

the energy of motion

Gravitational potential energy

the energy stored in an object due to its vertical height position

potential energy

the energy that an object has because of its position relative within a force field or because of the relative positions of its components

Thermal energy

the internal energy of a system including the kinetic and potential energy of its particles

electric potential energy

the potential energy per unit of charge that an object would have at a point in space as the result of the objects charge and the charges of other objects at other points in space

Mechanical energy

the sum of the potential energy and kinetic energy of an object, changes when work is done on the object

energy transfer

the transfer of energy from one object or material to another object or material
