Energy Types Vocab Project

3. The kinetic energy of its particles. Particles move faster at higher temperatures than at lower temperatures
6. Energy can neither be created nor destroyed --- it can only be transformed from one state to another (change forms)
7. The energy that results from the position or motion of charged particles. ex. charged electrons on the move.
8. Electromagnetic waves being transmitted through space, caused by the vibration of electrically charged particles.
9. A form of potential energy related to the energy stored in the bonds between atoms in a compound.
11. Kinetic energy caused by the transfer of the vibration of particles in materials such as steel, water, or air.
12. The sum of an object's kinetic and potential energy. ex. related to the movement of objects and their position in gravity
15. Unit of measure for energy.

1. The movement of energy from one form to another (Ex.) the chemical potential energy in the food you eat is stored until your body needs it, breaks it down and turns it into kinetic energy when you walk, move etc.
2. The stored energy that an object has due to its position (gravitational energy), condition (stretching a rubber band) OR chemical composition (breaking bonds between atoms).
4. Energy of an object due to motion.
5. Energy sources that are consistently being replenished, such as sunlight, wind, and water.
10. The amount of useful energy you get from any type of system
13. The ability to do work or cause change.
14. Related to the potential energy stored in bonds between particles in the nucleus of an atom.
