Across
- 2. of Conservation of Energy The theory that energy can only transfer between objects and change form; it is never created or destroyed.
- 3. Transformation When one type of energy is converted into another; like when dammed water is released and the kinetic energy is converted into electrical energy.
- 5. A type of mechanical force where a sudden force pushes an object in a specific direction.
- 8. Energy The energy of an object has a result of its motion (can be on an atomic level).
- 10. Energy Energy that is possessed by an object due to its motion
- 11. The ability to do work
- 13. Energy The energy stored in an object because of its height above the earth.
- 14. A push or a pull that causes movement or a change in motion.
- 16. Potential Energy Energy stored due to an object’s position above the surface of a planet.
Down
- 1. Energy/Radiant Energy Energy (both visible and nonvisible light) resulting from the release of electromagnetic radiation; which does not require a medium and is released in all directions.
- 4. A measure of energy transfer that occurs when an object is moved over a distance by an external force.
- 6. Energy 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.
- 7. Energy Energy stored in the chemical bonds of atoms and molecules.
- 9. 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.
- 11. Energy Energy resulting from the movement of charged particles (usually electrons) from one point to another.
- 12. Potential Energy Energy stored from stretching, compressing, or distorting a material that spontaneously returns to its original shape; like springs or rubber bands.
- 15. Transfer The process by which energy is moved from one area to another.
