What is Thermal Energy?

Back

Thermal energy is the energy that comes from the temperature of matter. It is the total kinetic energy of particles in a substance.

Front

What is Potential Energy?

Back

Potential energy is the stored energy in an object due to its position or state. For example, a rock at the top of a hill has gravitational potential energy.

Front

What is Kinetic Energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of an object in motion. The faster an object moves, the more kinetic energy it has.

Front

What is the Law of Conservation of Energy?

Back

The Law of Conservation of Energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another.
