| energy | ability to cause change or do work |
| mechanical energy | the total amount of kinetic and potential energy in a system |
| potential energy | stored energy or energy of position |
| kinetic energy | energy of motion |
| law of conservation of energy | energy cannot be created or destroyed, but can change forms |
| work | the transfer of energy through motion |
| thermal energy | total energy of all particles in a material (PE & KE) |
| heat | thermal energy that flows from warmer to cooler materials |
| temperature | measure of the average kinetic energy of all the particles in a material |
| specific heat | the energy it takes to raise 1 kg of a material by 1 kelvin |
