  1. 4. - a device consisting of a hub fitted with blades that is made to turn rapidly by an engine.
  2. 7. - the energy contained within a system that is responsible for its temperature.
  3. 9. - the changing of energy from one type to another, e.g. from kinetic energy to electrical energy, or from potential energy to kinetic energy.
  4. 11. - a substance that does not possess a definite shape and easily yields to external pressure. Fluid is any liquid or gas or any material that is unable to withstand a shearing or tangential force, when at rest.
  5. 12. - a principle stating that energy cannot be created or destroyed, but can be altered from one form to another.
  6. 13. - the physical energy resulting from electromagnetic radiation, usually observed as it radiates from a source into the surrounding environment. Radiant energy sources include the entire electromagnetic radiation spectrum, including gamma rays, x-rays, radio frequencies, microwaves, light and heat.
  7. 14. - all the energy that an object has because of its motion (kinetic energy) and its position (potential energy)
  8. 15. - the energy of motion. All moving objects have kinetic energy.
Down
  1. 1. - Sound is energy that we can hear. It is a type of kinetic energy that is made from the vibration of matter. Sound moves from the source of its vibration through other matter, like air or water.
  2. 2. - is the energy found in the nuclei of atoms.
  3. 3. - energy stored in the bonds of atoms and molecules. Batteries, biomass, petroleum, natural gas, and coal are examples of chemical energy.
  4. 5. - a machine that transforms rotational energy from a fluid that is picked up by a rotor system into usable work or energy.
  5. 6. - moving energy. It is the movement of tiny particles called electrons and protons. Electrical energy can be seen in nature in a bolt of lightning, which is a large number of electrons flowing through air all at once.
  6. 8. - the energy that an object has because of its position and is measured in Joules (J).
  7. 10. - the energy that is needed to move a charge against an electric field.
