8SPS Unit 6 Energy

work

• force x distance

• mass x acceleration

• energy x time

• power x speed

kinetic energy

• the energy an object has due to its motion

• the energy stored in an object at rest

• the energy released during a chemical reaction

• the energy associated with an object's position

gravitational potential energy

• Energy stored in a compressed spring

• Potential energy that depends on the height of an object

• Energy associated with an object's motion

• Energy that is released during a chemical reaction

gravity

• A force of attraction between objects that is due to their masses.

• A type of energy that can be harnessed for power.

• A phenomenon that causes objects to float in space.

• A measure of the speed of an object in motion.

energy transfer (heat)

• Movement of energy from one place or object to another

• A process that cools down an object

• The conversion of energy into mass

• The storage of energy in a single location

energy system

• A system primarily designed to supply energy-services to end-users.

• A system that generates energy from renewable sources.

• A system that stores energy for future use.

• A system that distributes energy to various sectors.

potential energy

• energy that is in motion

• stored energy that results from the position or shape of an object

• energy that can be converted into heat

• energy that is released during a chemical reaction

temperature

• A measure of the average energy of motion of the particles of a substance.

• A measure of how hot or cold something is.

• The degree of heat present in a substance.

• A scale used to measure the intensity of heat.

power

• the rate at which work is done.

• the total energy consumed over time.

• the force applied to an object.

• the distance covered by an object.

mass

• the amount of matter in an object

• the weight of an object

• the volume of an object

• the density of an object
