ENERGY
definition: objects ability to do work
for work to be done something must be moved
potiential energy= energy of position, the possibility of energy
work: force applied to an object that causes movement
chemical potiential energy:energy stored in chemicals
nuclear energy= energy stored in an atom
gravitational potential energy= energy based on an objects height
elastic potiential energy= energy based on objects ability to stretch or be squished
kinetic energy= energy of motion
thermal energy= created by movement of particles (atoms) in matter, also created by FRICTION
electromagenetic energy= energy from moving electrons
click to edit
mechanical energy= KE+PE, energy of motion and position
law of conservation of energy= energy is never created or destroyed. energy can be converted/changed to other types of energy
