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
