Chemical Energy

a form of potential energy that depends on the position and arrangement of the atoms in a compound

Light Energy

energy produced by the vibrations of electrically charged particles

Nuclear Energy

energy that comes from change in the nucleus of an atom

Kinetic Energy Formula

mass X volume 2/ 2

Mechanical Energy Formula

potential + kinetic

Energy

the ability to do work

Mechanical Energy

the amount of work an object can do because of the object's kinetic and potential energies

Kinetic Energy

the energy of an object that is due to the object's motion

Electrical Energy

the energy of moving electrons

Potential Energy

the energy that an object has because of the position, shape, or condition of the object

Thermal Energy

the kinetic energy due to random motion of the particles that make up an object ( temperature is a measure of thermal energy)

Sound Energy

vibrating objects transmits energy through the air around it

Gravitational Potential Energy Formula

weight X height

fission

when a nucleus splits

fusion

when nuclei join together

Gravitational Potential Energy

when you lift an object, you do work on it. You transfer energy to the object
