Unit 6: Energy

1. the amount of space a surface takes up that affect the rate of thermal energy.
5. a state in which opposing forces or influences are balanced.
8. A type of potential is energy stored in the bonds between elements of a substance (remember studying bonds in chemistry).
10. Active energy; the energy associated with the movement of objects.
12. the person who discovered Hooke's Law.
13. The potential energy of a magnetic field.
17. A type of mechanical energy associated with the movement and separation of charged particles called electrons.
19. Any form of light contains energy. (infrared, visible, ultraviolet, etc.)

2. is the measure of usable energy after a conversion has taken place.
3. done when a force (N) causes an object to move a certain distance (m).
4. It is the energy associated with the vibrations of molecules and atoms.
6. A type of kinetic energy contained within a substance due to the movement of molecules.
7. energy that is stored in an object as a result of its position, shape, or chemical composition.
9. the amount of force is directly proportional to the amount of stretch or compression
11. the unit that measures energy
14. defined as the ability to do work or make things happen.
15. the energy due to an object’s position above the earth’s surface
16. The energy that is possessed by an object due to its motion or due to its position.
17. energy stored in elastic materials such as a spring (when it’s compressed) or elastic object (when it’s stretched).
18. stored in the nucleus of an atom.
