| Energy | the ablility to do work, the ability of an object to produce a change in itself or its surroundings |
| Potential Energy | stored energy, energy of position |
| Gravitational potential energy | potential energy due to gravity (READY to fall) |
| Elastic potential energy | potential energy due to compressing or stretching |
| Chemical potential energy | energy of something that can go through a chemical change to do something |
| Kinetic energy | the energy an object has because of its motion |
| Work | the transfer of energy as a result of force and motion, motion must be in the direction of the force |
| Joules (J) | units of measurement for work (1J = Nxm) |
| Law of conservation of energy | energy can not be created or destroyed but it can change form one form to another |
