Energy

Energy

The ability to do work

Potential energy

Stored energy, energy of position

Gravitational Potential Energy

Energy of position

Elastic Potential energy

Stored energy due to its compression or stretching

Kinetic energy

Energy of a moving object due to its motion

Law of conservation of Energy

Energy cannot be created or destroyed, but can only change form

Conduction

Transfer of energy as heat particles collide or objects collide

Convection

Transfer of energy by the movement of fluid with different temperature

Radiation

Transfer of energy by electromagnetic waves

Temperature

A measure of the average kinetic energy of its particles

Conductor

Material through which energy transfers easily

Insulator

material that poorly transfers energy
