Benchmark 2 Review

the ability to do work

• energy

• kinetic energy

• potential energy

• chemical energy

The energy an object has due to its motion. Examples: A moving car, riding a roller coaster, riding a bicycle.

• energy

• potential energy

• kinetic energy

• stored energy

Stored energy that has potential to do work. Examples: A person at the top of a diving board, a parked car at the top of a hill.

• kinetic energy

• potential energy

• gravitational potential energy

• energy in motion

Potential energy related to an object’s height. Example: A car that is parked at the top of a hill. A Yo-yo before it is released.

• Kinetic energy

• elastic potential energy

• gravitational potential energy

• energy

An object that can be stretched or compressed. Example: A rubber band being pulled back, a trampoline when being jumped on

• gravitational potential energy

• kinetic energy

• elastic potential energy

• energy

Kinetic or Potential Energy associated with the motion or position of an object. Examples: A bowling ball rolling down a bowling alley has kinetic energy that gets transferred to the pins that will shoot off in different directions.

• elastic potential

• gravitational potential

• mechanical energy

• chemical energy

The energy of electric charges. Examples: Lightning, batteries, and power lines.

• Mechanical energy

• kinetic energy

• electrical energy

• potential energy

 Potential energy that is stored in chemical bonds that hold items together. Chemical energy is found in food, matches, and body cells.

• mechanical energy

• potential energy

• electrical energy

• chemical energy

The total kinetic and potential energy of all the particles of an object. Example: Heat

• thermal energy

• heat

• kinetic energy

• chemical energy

A change from one form of energy to another.

• energy

• energy transformation

• transferred energy

• kinetic energy
