Potential and Kinetic Energy definition
Electric Energy
the energy that an electric current carries.
Radiant Energy-Light Energy
the energy that electromagnetic waves carry.
Sound Energy
the energy that sound carries.
Law of Conservation of Energy
Energy can neither be created nor destroyed; rather, it transforms from one form to another
Chemical Potential Energy
a form of potential energy that can be absorbed or released during a chemical reaction.
Kinetic Energy
energy due to motion.
Nuclear Energy
energy that is stored in the nucleus of and atom.
Gravitational Potential Energy
is energy an object possesses because of its position in a gravitational field.
Thermal Energy
is energy due to the motion of particles that make up and object.
Mechanical Energy
is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy. It is the energy associated with the motion and position of an object.
Elastic Potential Energy
stored as a result of deformation of an elastic object, such as the stretching of a spring.
Potential Energy
stored energy due to the interactions between objects or particles.
Energy
the ability to cause change.
Friction
the resistance that one surface or object encounters when moving over another.
Work
the transfer of energy that occurs when a force is applied over a distance.
