Energy

Movement

1st Law of Thermodynamics

Energy cannot be created or destroyed, but it can be transformed into another form of energy

Mechanical Energy

Energy of moving parts. The total amount of potential and kinetic energy in a system of moving parts.

Chemical Energy

Energy that is stored within chemical bonds. If the bonds are broken the energy is released.

Electrical Energy

The energy of moving electrons

Electromagnetic Energy

Light energy/radiant energy. X-rays, gamma rays, ultraviolet rays, etc.

Thermal Energy

The energy of moving atoms of matter. All matter has this energy because all matter is constantly moving

Sound Energy

A form of mechanical energy that starts with a vibration in matter

Nuclear Energy

Stored/coming out of the nucleus of an atom.

Work

When a force is exerted, and an object moves in the direction of that force. W=FxD

Power

The amount of work done in a certain amount of time. W/T
