energy

The ability to do work or cause change

Energy

The law that states that energy cannot be created or destroyed; it only changes from one form to another.

Law of conservation of energy

The energy an object possesses specifically because it is in motion

Kinetic energy

Stored energy of an object at rest that results from the position, condition, or chemical composition of an object

Potential energy

Energy stored in the bonds of chemical compounds

Chemical energy

The internal energy of a substance caused by the vibration and movement of its atoms and molecules; often perceived as heat

Thermal energy

Energy stored in an object because of its vertical position or height above the ground

Gravitational potential energy

Energy stored as a result of applying a force to deform a flexible object, such as stretching a rubber band or compressing a string

Elastic potential energy

Energy that travels in electromagnetic waves, including visible light, x-rays, and radio waves

Radiant (light) energy

Formula for getting the KE

KE = ½ x m x v²

Formula for getting the total energy

Total Energy = KE + PE

Formula for getting the PE

PE = m x g x h

The rate of which work is done

Power

The standard unit of measurement for both energy and work

Joule (J)

The unit measurement For power

Watt (W)
