Energy Vocabulary

3. Is the stored energy that an object has due to its, position, condition, or chemical composition.
4. Energy of an object due to motion.
6. The kinetic energy of its particles. Particles move faster at higher temperatures than at lower temperatures.
8. Electromagnetic waves being transmitted through space, caused by the vibration of electrically charged particles.
10. Energy sources that are constantly being replenished, such as sunlight, wind, and water.
12. Is kinetic energy caused by the transfer of the vibration of particles in materials such as steel, water, or air.
13. Unit of measure for energy.
15. The amount of useful energy you get from any type of system.

1. Is the energy that results from the position or motion of charged particles.
2. Energy can neither be created nor destroyed; it can only be transformed from one state to another.
5. Related to the potential energy stored in bonds between particles in the nucleus of an atom.
7. Is the sum of an object’s kinetic and potential energy.
9. Is a form of potential energy related to the energy stored in the bonds between atoms in a compound.
11. The movement of energy from one form to another.
14. The ability to do work or cause change.
