  1. 2. the ability to do work
  2. 7. a form of energy released from the nucleus of an atom
  3. 8. transferring energy into an object so that there is some displacement. Creates a changed in energy.
  4. 13. the amount of energy transferred or converted per unit time
  5. 14. the energy which is stored in the bonds of chemical compounds (molecules and atoms)
  6. 17. rate at which an object changes its velocity
  7. 18. unit of distance or displacement
  8. 21. the straight line distance an object moves in a particular direction
  9. 23. a push or pull on an object, which has both magnitude and direction. Can cause acceleration.
  10. 25. a force that resists sliding motion. Always points opposite the direction of motion.
  11. 26. the sum of potential energy and gravitational energy
Down
  1. 1. a type of potential energy related to gravity. Depends on the the mass of an object, and its height above a reference point.
  2. 3. a quantity with only a magnitude (no direction).
  3. 4. SI unit of work and energy
  4. 5. energy in an object or system due to the movement of its molecules and atoms. the energy contained within a system that is responsible for its temperature
  5. 6. a quantity with both a magnitude and a direction. Represented with an arrow.
  6. 9. an object's change in position divided by the time of travel
  7. 10. form of energy that an object has due to its motion
  8. 11. the energy that is stored in an object due to its position relative to some zero position
  9. 12. unit of time
  10. 15. potential energy stored as a result of applying a force to deform an elastic object. Ex. stretching a spring or rubber band.
  11. 16. a symbol representing an angle
  12. 19. energy that results from the flow of negatively charged electrons
  13. 20. unit of mass
  14. 22. unit of force
  15. 24. a symbol meaning "change in". Represented by a triangle.
