Energy | Is defined as the ability to do work. Work is done when a force causes something to move. |
Kinetic Energy | is the energy a moving object has because of its motion |
Joule | SI unit of energy |
Potential Energy | stored energy due to position |
Elastic Potential Energy | energy stored by something that can stretch or compress |
Chemical Potential Energy | energy stored in chemical bonds |
Gravitational Potential Energy | energy stored by objects due to their position above Earth's surface |
Mechanical Energy | total amount of potential and kenetic energy in a system |
Law of Conservation of Energy | energy cannot be created or destroyed |
Work | is the energy transferred when a force makes an object move |
Power | is the amount of work done in one second, the rate at which work is done |
