| Energy | The ability to cause change |
| Kinetic Energy | Energy in the form of motion |
| Potential Energy | Is stored energy due to an object's position or condition |
| Elastic Potential Energy | Is energy stored by something that can stretch or compress, such as a rubber band or spring |
| Chemical Potential Energy | Is the energy that is stored in the chemical bonds between atoms |
| Gravitational Potential Energy | Is the energy stored by objects due to their position above Earth's surface |
| Systems Mechanical Energy | The total amount of kinetic and potential energy in a system |
| Law of Conservation of Energy | States energy may change form or be transferred from one object to another but cannot be created or destroyed under ordinary conditions |
| Nuclear Fission | The process by which atoms are broken in small pieces releasing large amounts of energy |
| Nuclear Fusion | The reaction in which atoms are smashed together forming a larger atom and releasing large amounts of energy |
| Work | The transfer of energy through motion of an object in the direction of the applied force |
| Work-Energy Theorem | States that the work is done on an object the equal to the energy gained by the object |
| Power | The amount of work done in a certain amount of time |
| Watts | What power is measured in |
| Machine | A device that makes doing work easier |
| Efficiency | A measure of how much of the work put into a machine is changed into useful output work by the machine |
| Lever, pulley, wheel & axle, inclined plane, screw, and wedge | The six simple machines |
