Unit 5 Lesson 1 Introduction to Energy

the capacity to do work

• kinetic energy

• energy

• potential energy

• mechanical energy

The energy of an object that is due to the object's motion.

• kinetic energy

• potential energy

• mechanical energy

• energy tranformation

The energy that an object has because of the position, condition, or chemical composition of the object.

• kinetic energy

• mechanical energy

• potential energy

• energy

The sum of an object's kinetic energy and potential energy due to gravity or elastic deformation; does not include chemical energy or nuclear energy

• mechanical energy

• kinetic energy

• potential energy

• law of conservation of energy

The process of energy changing from one form into another

• kinetic energy

• potential energy

• mechanical energy

• energy transformation

The law that states that energy cannot be created or destroyed but can be changed from one form to another.

• energy transformation

• law of conservation of energy

• potential energy

• kinetic energy
