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.
