| Energy | The ability to do work or cause change. |
| Work | The transfer of energy. |
| Kinetic Energy | The energy of motion. |
| Mass and Velocity | The quantities kinetic energy depends on. |
| Potential Energy | Energy that is stored in readiness. |
| Gravitational Potential Energy | The potential energy that depends on height. |
| Elastic Potential Energy | Potential energy associated with objects that can be stretched or compressed. |
| Mechanical Energy | Energy associated with the moiton or position of an object. Can be Kinetic or Potential. |
| Thermal Energy | The total energy due to the arrangement and motion of the particles of an object. Can be Kinetic or Potential |
