  1. 6. A built-in mechanism that releases the stored energy in a device
  2. 9. same time
  3. 10. within given constraints
  4. 12. not the path taken to get there. The value is always relative to some reference level.
  5. 14. An object at rest tends to stay at rest and an object in motion tends to stay in motion
  6. 16. can be either kinetic (energy of motion) or potential (stored energy of position).
  7. 17. The ability to do work.
  8. 20. Energy: Potential energy due to elevated position. This depends only on vertical displacement
  9. 22. The energy of position; energy that is stored and held in readiness — waiting to move (e.g., a ball

  1. 1. the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force
  2. 2. Energy cannot be created or destroyed; it may be transformed from one form into another,
  3. 3. The energy of motion. An object in any form of motion has kinetic energy (e.g., running, walking,
  4. 4. transferred from one place to another, but the total amount of energy never changes.
  5. 5. A place where the design or system fails
  6. 7. A force that pulls objects toward the center of the Earth.
  7. 8. flying, etc.).
  8. 11. An influence (push or pull) on a body or system, causing a change in movement or shape.
  9. 13. Energy possessed by an object due to its motion or its stored energy of position. Mechanical
  10. 15. The process of iterating, refining, and making trade-offs until a solution is found that best meets the
