Energy
The ability to do work, which can change from one form to another.
Gravitational Potential Energy
The energy possessed by an object because of its location or position.
Kinetic Energy
The energy possessed by objects in motion.
Potential Energy
The energy stored in an object due to its position or state.
Elastic Potential Energy
The potential energy stored in an object when it is compressed or stretched.
Work
The product of the force exerted on an object and the displacement of the object in the same direction as the force.
Heat
A form of energy due to molecular motion, transferred from a warmer body to a cooler body.
Thermodynamics
The study of thermal processes that transform heat energy into useful mechanical work and vice versa.
Law of Conservation of Energy
States that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, only transferred or changed from one form to another.
Entropy
A measure of the disorder of a system or energy unavailable to do work.
Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics
If two objects are not in physical contact, heat can still flow between them through radiation.
Closed System
A system where no matter enters or exits, allowing for the study of thermodynamic processes.
Power Plants
Facilities that harness energy from natural resources to transform it from one form to another.
