  1. 4. Energy / is a form of energy related with the vibration of matter.
  2. 5. Energy / is defined as an electric charge that lets work be accomplished. An example of electrical energy is power from a plug outlet.
  3. 7. Energy / is energy that travels by waves or particles, particularly electromagnetic radiation such as heat or x-rays.
  4. 13. Potential / at a location is equal to the work per unit mass that would be needed to move the object from a fixed reference location to the location of the object. It is analogous to the electric potential with mass playing the role of charge.
  5. 14. Potential Energy / the potential mechanical energy stored in the configuration of a material or physical system as work is performed to distort its volume or shape. Elastic energy occurs when objects are compressed and stretched, or generally deformed in any manner.
  6. 15. Energy / the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position relative to others, stresses within itself, electric charge, and other factors.

  1. 1. / the SI unit of work or energy, equal to the work done by a force of one newton when its point of application moves one meter in the direction of action of the force, equivalent to one 3600th of a watt-hour.
  2. 2. Energy / is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy. It is the energy associated with the motion and position of an object.
  3. 3. / power derived from the utilization of physical or chemical resources, especially to provide light and heat or to work machines.
  4. 6. / the movement caused within a fluid by the tendency of hotter and therefore less dense material to rise, and colder, denser material to sink under the influence of gravity, which consequently results in transfer of heat.
  5. 8. Energy / s the internal energy of an object due to the kinetic energy of its atoms and/or molecules. The atoms and/or molecules of a hotter object have greater kinetic energy than those of a colder one, in the form of vibrational, rotational, or, in the case of a gas, translational motion.
  6. 9. / the emission of energy as electromagnetic waves or as moving subatomic particles, especially high-energy particles that cause ionization.
  7. 10. / the process by which heat or electricity is directly transmitted through a substance when there is a difference of temperature or of electrical potential between adjoining regions, without movement of the material.
  8. 11. Energy / is the potential of a chemical substance to undergo a transformation through a chemical reaction to transform other chemical substances.
  9. 12. / energy that a body possesses by virtue of being in motion.
  10. 16. Energy / the energy released during nuclear fission or fusion, especially when used to generate electricity.
