Across
- 2. When one type of energy is converted into another; like when dammed water is released and the kinetic energy is converted into electrical energy.
- 6. A type of mechanical force where a sudden force pushes an object in a specific direction.
- 7. The ability to do work or cause a change
- 9. The energy of an object has a result of its motion (can be on an atomic level).
- 10. 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.
- 11. A characteristic of matter that can be observed without changing the matter's identity.
- 13. The push or pull on an object with mass causes it to change its velocity.
- 15. Energy that is possessed by an object due to its motion and position.
- 17. Energy stored from stretching, compressing, or distorting a material that spontaneously returns to its original shape; like springs or rubber bands.
- 18. The process by which energy is moved from one area to another.
- 19. Energy stored in the chemical bonds of atoms and molecules.
Down
- 1. is electromagnetic energy that travels in transverse waves.
- 3. The energy of light and other forms of radiation
- 4. Energy can not be created or destroyed
- 5. The energy stored in an object because of its height above the Earth or the stretching, compressing, or distorting a material that will spontaneously return to its original shape.chemical bond A measure of energy transfer that occurs when an object is moved over a distance by an external force.
- 8. Energy stored due to an object’s position above the surface of a planet.
- 12. Energy resulting from the movement of charged particles (usually electrons) from one point to another.
- 14. The unit of measurement used to describe the amount of energy that is in a system or that is being used/released in a system
- 16. 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.
