Energy is measured in units called.....

• pounds
• meters
• horsepower
• joules

The more particles an object has at a given temperature,

• the higher the temperature
• the more thermal energy it has
• the more degrees it has 
• the more Kelvins it has

The Law of Conservation of Energy states:

• Energy can created or destroyed but not transformed 
• Energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only transformed
• Energy can't be created, destroyed or transformed
