Across
- 2. the ability to do work
- 7. a form of energy released from the nucleus of an atom
- 8. transferring energy into an object so that there is some displacement. Creates a changed in energy.
- 13. the amount of energy transferred or converted per unit time
- 14. the energy which is stored in the bonds of chemical compounds (molecules and atoms)
- 17. rate at which an object changes its velocity
- 18. unit of distance or displacement
- 21. the straight line distance an object moves in a particular direction
- 23. a push or pull on an object, which has both magnitude and direction. Can cause acceleration.
- 25. a force that resists sliding motion. Always points opposite the direction of motion.
- 26. the sum of potential energy and gravitational energy
Down
- 1. a type of potential energy related to gravity. Depends on the the mass of an object, and its height above a reference point.
- 3. a quantity with only a magnitude (no direction).
- 4. SI unit of work and energy
- 5. energy in an object or system due to the movement of its molecules and atoms. the energy contained within a system that is responsible for its temperature
- 6. a quantity with both a magnitude and a direction. Represented with an arrow.
- 9. an object's change in position divided by the time of travel
- 10. form of energy that an object has due to its motion
- 11. the energy that is stored in an object due to its position relative to some zero position
- 12. unit of time
- 15. potential energy stored as a result of applying a force to deform an elastic object. Ex. stretching a spring or rubber band.
- 16. a symbol representing an angle
- 19. energy that results from the flow of negatively charged electrons
- 20. unit of mass
- 22. unit of force
- 24. a symbol meaning "change in". Represented by a triangle.
