Glencoe Physical Science 2005

AB
kinetic energyenergy a moving object has because of its motion; depends on the mass and speed of the object
jouleSI unit of energy
potential energystored energy an object has due to its position
elastic potential energyenergy stored when an object is compressed or stretched
chemical potential energyenergy stored in chemical bonds
gravitational potential energyenergy stored by objects due to their position above Earth's surface; depends on the distance above Earth's surface and the object's mass
mechanical energysum of the potential energy and kinetic energy in a system
law of conservation of energystates that energy can never be created or destroyed
