| buoyancy | an upward force exerted by a liquid, gas or other fluid, that opposes the weight of an immersed object |
| chemical energy | potiental energy stored in chemical bonds |
| conduction | transfer of heat energy through directi contact |
| convection | transfer of heat energy throught movement of molecules in fluids (liquids or gases) |
| density | the mass of an object divided by its volumn |
| electrical energy | energy produced by moving electrical changes |
| energy | the ability to do work (push or pull) on the mass of an object |
| fission | splitting an atom producing large amounts of energy |
| frequency | the number of times something passes a specific point |
| fusion | two or more atoms combine to form heavier atoms, energy is released in the process |
| kinetic energy | the energy an object has due to its position |
| mass | the amount of matter in a substance |
