Energy

The ability to do work or cause change on something else

2
New cards

kinetic energy

moving energy

3
New cards

work

The transfer of energy. When work occurs on an object, the object gains energy

4
New cards

potential energy

energy stored in the shape or position of an object

5
New cards

electrical energy

the storage or movement of electrons (electric charges) from atom to atom

6
New cards

electromagnetic (light) energy

created when an electron vibrates and produces waves

7
New cards

chemical energy

stored in the bonds between atoms

8
New cards

thermal energy

the potential and kinetic energy of all the particles in an object

9
New cards

sound energy

caused by the vibrations of an object

10
New cards

nuclear energy

stored in the nucleus of an atom, released when the atom splits/changes shape

11
New cards

mechanical (kinetic) energy

The form of energy associated with the motion of an object

12
New cards

Elastic Potential Energy

When energy is STORED because an object changes shape (stretched or compressed)
