energy
the ability to cause motion or change
kinetic energy
the energy an object has due to its motion
potential energy
the energy stored in a system due to the positions of objects in the system that are interacting at a distance
law of conservation of energy
a scientific law that states that the total energy of an isolated system always remains the same
linear relationship
a relationship between two variables when a graph of one variable versus the other is a straight line; it can be represented by the equation y = mx + b
nonlinear relationship
a relationship between two variables when a graph of one variable versus the other is not a straight line
proportional relationship
the relationship between two variables when the ratio between the variables is constant; a graph of a proportional relationship is a straight line through the origin
slope
the steepness of a line on a graph
chemical potential energy
potential energy stored in the chemical bonds that hold particles of matter together; chemical potential energy is a combination of different types of energy
elastic potential energy
potential energy resulting from elastic forces; elastic potential energy is a combination of different types of energy
electrical potential energy
potential energy stored in a system of objects interacting by electric forces
gravitational potential energy
potential energy stored in a system of objects interacting due to gravitational forces
magnetic potential energy
potential energy stored in a system of objects interacting by magnetic forces
