2. Axle — Uses rotational motion to transfer force and reduce friction; amplifies force or increases distance traveled.
3. — Unit of measurement for energy in food; the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius.
8. — Another term for energy associated with moving electric charges.
11. — Energy associated with moving electric charges.
12. — Energy stored in the nucleus of an atom; released during nuclear reactions like fission or fusion.
13. — Unit used to measure work or energy.
14. — System that exchanges both matter and energy with its surroundings.
17. — Processes involved in generating, distributing, and using energy to meet societal needs.
18. — Do not create energy; instead, they transfer and transform energy, often trading force for distance.
19. — Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another.
20. — The ability to do work or cause change. Everything in the universe has energy. Energy exists in different forms.
23. — Energy stored in the bonds of atoms and molecules; released or absorbed during chemical reactions.
24. — Energy stored because of an object’s height or position in a gravitational field.
25. — Simple machines that make it easier to lift or move heavy objects by redirecting force.
26. — Energy that travels in waves, including light and other electromagnetic waves.

1. — Stored energy within a system due to its position or configuration; can be converted to other forms of energy.
4. — Potential energy stored when something is stretched or squeezed.
5. — Sum of kinetic and potential energy; energy of motion and position combined.
6. — System that exchanges energy but not matter.
7. — Pulley that moves with the load and reduces the amount of force needed.
9. — Energy related to heat; total kinetic energy of particles within a substance.
10. — Energy an object possesses due to its motion. Depends on mass and speed; measured in joules.
15. — Two or more pulleys working together to lift a load, providing greater mechanical advantage.
16. — Pulley that stays in one place and changes the direction of force.
21. — Flat surface set at an angle that makes it easier to move objects to a higher elevation by reducing the force needed.
22. — Done when a force acts on an object, causing it to move over a distance.
