Energy

• the ability to do work
• the sum of all of the potential and kinetic energy
• the force that attracts objects towards other objects with mass
• mass x gravity

Elastic Potential Energy

• energy stored in an object that is stretching or compressing
• the energy in the vibration of atoms (into waves)
• energy stored in the bonds of atoms
• stored energy; energy of position

Gravitational Potential Energy

• the energy stored in an object due to its height
• stored energy; energy of position
• energy stored in the bonds of atoms
• energy stored in an object that is stretching or compressing

Gravity

• the force that attracts objects towards other objects with mass
• the transfer of energy that occurs when a force is applied over a distance
• the sum of all of the potential and kinetic energy
• is the same here as on the other planets

Joule

• a unit of measure of energy
• a unit of measure of speed
• a unit of measure of weight
• a unit of measure of distance/height

Mass

• the amount of matter in an object
• how high above the ground an object is
• mass x gravity
• how heavy an object is

Mechanical Energy

• the sum of all of the potential and kinetic energy
• the amount of energy in a system
• the change of energy from one form to another
• this states that the total energy of a system remains constant — it is said to be conserved over time

Motion Kinetic Energy

• the energy an object possesses due to it changing position
• the energy of moving particles that influence temperature
• the energy in the vibration of atoms (into waves)
• the energy an object possesses due to its motion
