| energy | the ability to do work |
| potential energy | stored energy due to the position or shape of an object |
| kinetic energy | energy in motion |
| mass | the amount of matter in an object |
| mechanical energy | the total energy of motion and position of an object |
| Thermal energy | the total kinetic energy of the particels that make up an object |
| Electrical Energy | The energy of moving electrons |
| chemical energy | energy of a compound that changes as its atoms are rearanged to for a new compound |
| nuclear enerchy | stored energy (usually uranium) used to heat steam to turn the turbine for power |
| sound energy | energy that virates the air around it |
| light energy | energy produced by vibrations of electrically charged particles |
| energy conversions | a change from one form of energy to another |
| law of conservation of energy | no energy is ever created nor destroyed it just changes its form |
| energy resources | a natural resource that humans convert into other forms of energy that is usefull to do work |
| fossil fuels | nonrenewable energy resources that form in the earths crust long time ago from buried remains of once living organisms |
| turbine | the wheel u need to get spinning to get electricity |
| perputual motion | when u convert energy without losing any energy to different forms like thermal and sound |
| friction | a force that opposes motion between two surfaces that are touching |
