elastic energy

Front

Fill in the blank: ________ is when energy is taken from one place to another (e.g., in a food web, energy is transferred from producer to consumer).

Back

energy transfer

Front

Fill in the blank: ________ is the process of energy changing from one form to another.

Back

energy transformation (conversion)

Front

Fill in the blank: ________ is energy stored in an object due to its position.

Back

Back

longitudinal wave

Front

Fill in the blank: ________ is stored energy; energy due to position.

Back

potential energy

Front

A ________ is a wave in which energy travels perpendicular to the vibrations of the medium particles.
