Energy Vocabulary
Across
- 2. the sum of potential and kinetic energy for an object
- 5. energy related to the stretch or compression of an object
- 9. it is equal to the work done by a force of one newton acting through one metre
- 12. a force applied to an object that results in a displacement in the same direction
- 13. a scalar quantity, like length, mass, and charge
- 14. the resistance to motion of one object moving relative to another
- 16. when work is done on an object, the kinetic energy of the object changes
- 18. ,the fundamental principle of physics that the total energy of an isolated system is constant, despite internal changes
