5. the ability to do work or cause change
7. the total energy of the particles in a substance or material
8. the potential energy associated with objects that can be stretched or compressed
10. potential energy stored in chemical bonds that hold chemical compounds together
13. energy that is stored in the nucleus of an atom
15. fuels such as coal, oil and natural gas that were formed hundreds of millions of years ago by geological processes
16. the energy found at the highest point in a pendulum’s swing
19. energy that is stored and held in readiness
20. the energy carried from moving electric charges
21. scientist who included a small change to the law of conservation of energy by explaining that energy can sometimes be created
22. gravitational potential energy is weight times this
23. the unit of measure of force; named after the scientist who formulated the theory of gravity

1. the energy associated with the motion or position of an object
2. the energy found at the bottom of a pendulum swing
3. energy stored millions of years ago and released when fossil fuels are burned
4. the transfer of energy
6. a change from one form of energy to another
9. fossil fuels contain energy that originally came from the
