AB
EnergyThe ability to cause change
Kinetic EnergyEnergy in the form of motion
Potential EnergyStored energy due to an object's position or condition
Elastic Potential EnergyEnergy stored by something that can stretch or compress, such as a rubber band or spring
Chemical Potential EnergyEnergy that is stored in the chemical bonds between atoms
Gravitational Potential EnergyThe Energy stored by objects due to their position above Earth's surface
Systems Mechanical EnergyThe total amount of kinetic and potential energy in a system is called what
Law of Conservation of EnergyAccording to ? energy may change form or be transferred from one object to another but cannot be created or destroyed under ordinary conditions
Nuclear FissionThe process by which atoms are broken in small pieces releasing large amounts of energy is called what
Nuclear FusionThe reaction in which atoms are smashed together forming a large atom and releasing large amounts of energy is called what
WorkThe transfer of energy through motion of an object in the direction of the applied force
Work-Energy TheoremStates that the work is done on an object the equal to the energy gained by the object
PowerThe amount of work done in a certain amount of time
WattsWhat power is measured in
MachineA device that makes doing work easier
EfficiencyA measure of how much of the work put into a machine is changed into useful output work by the machine
Six Simple MachinesLever, pulley, wheel & axle, inclined plane, screw, and wedge
