  1. 2. of Conservation of Energy The theory that energy can only transfer between objects and change form; it is never created or destroyed.
  2. 3. Transformation When one type of energy is converted into another; like when dammed water is released and the kinetic energy is converted into electrical energy.
  3. 5. A type of mechanical force where a sudden force pushes an object in a specific direction.
  4. 8. Energy The energy of an object has a result of its motion (can be on an atomic level).
  5. 10. Energy Energy that is possessed by an object due to its motion
  6. 11. The ability to do work
  7. 13. Energy The energy stored in an object because of its height above the earth.
  8. 14. A push or a pull that causes movement or a change in motion.
  9. 16. Potential Energy Energy stored due to an object’s position above the surface of a planet.

  1. 1. Energy/Radiant Energy Energy (both visible and nonvisible light) resulting from the release of electromagnetic radiation; which does not require a medium and is released in all directions.
  2. 4. A measure of energy transfer that occurs when an object is moved over a distance by an external force.
  3. 6. Energy Energy resulting from the movement of atoms and molecules in a system, causing them to collide with each other. Faster moving particles results in higher temperatures and slower moving particles results in lower temperatures.
  4. 7. Energy Energy stored in the chemical bonds of atoms and molecules.
  5. 9. Energy Energy that is stored within an atom’s nucleus. Nuclear reactions including fusion, fission, and radioactive decay are sources of this type of energy.
  6. 11. Energy Energy resulting from the movement of charged particles (usually electrons) from one point to another.
  7. 12. Potential Energy Energy stored from stretching, compressing, or distorting a material that spontaneously returns to its original shape; like springs or rubber bands.
  8. 15. Transfer The process by which energy is moved from one area to another.
