potential and kinetic energy

What is potential energy?

Stored energy that is waiting to be released.

What is kinetic energy?

Energy in motion.

How does the weight of an object affect its kinetic energy?

The heavier an object is, the more kinetic energy it will have.

What happens to an object's speed with increased force?

The more force is placed on an object, the more speed it will have.

How are kinetic and potential energy related?

They can transform into one another.

What can kinetic energy transform into?

Sound, heat, and light.

What is mechanical energy?

The energy of movement.

What type of energy is electrical energy?

The energy of moving electrons.

What is light (radiant) energy?

Electromagnetic energy that allows the human eye to see.

What is thermal (heat) energy?

The energy of moving atoms in matter.

What is sound energy?

The energy from vibrations of matter.

What is chemical potential energy?

Energy stored in the bonds between atoms and compounds.

What is elastic potential energy?

Energy stored when materials stretch or compress.

What is gravitational potential energy?

Energy an object possesses due to its position.

What is nuclear potential energy?

The energy stored in the nuclei of atoms.

What does the law of conservation of energy state?

Energy cannot be created nor destroyed but can be transformed to other forms.
