Conservation of Energy (copper)
Energy
The ability of a system to do work or produce heat
gravitational potential energy
The energy stored in an object due to its position
potential energy
The energy that an object has because of its position relative within a force field of because of the relative positions of its components
conservation of energy
The principle stating that energy is neither created nor destroyed in an ordinary chemical or physical process
mechanical energy
The sum of the potential energy and kinetic energy of an object changes when working is done on the object
thermal energy
The total energy of all the particles of an object.
energy transfer
The transfer of energy from one object or material to another object or material
radiant energy
energy carried by electromagnetic waves
kinetic energy
energy of motion
chemical potential energy
energy that is due to chemical bonds
electrical energy
Energy produced as a result of moving electric charges
elastic potential energy
Energy stored as a result of deformation of an elastic object
Friction
A force that resists the relative motion of two objects or substances sliding against one another
sound energy
Energy caused by an object's vibrations
