Unit 5 – Energy Vocabulary

2. the sum of potential and kinetic energy for an object
3. occurring continuously over a period of time.
4. the measured or measurable period during which an action, process, or condition exists or continues
6. unit of work or energy in the International System of Units (SI)
7. a form of energy that is transferred by a difference in temperature
