1. Energy is the ability to cause change. Joules are used to measure energy.
2. The amount of energy an object has because it is in motion. The energy of motion. Object +mass + speed
3. Mass and speed. More mass means more kinetic energy. More speed means more kinetic energy.
4. Potential energy is stored energy.
5. Gravitational: a tossed ball Object +mass + height Elastic: a stretched rubberband Chemical: food, oil, coal
6. Heat energy. It moves due to changes in temperature. It always moves from hot or warm to cold.
7. Radiant energy. Carried by waves. Spreads out in all directions.
8. The movement of energy from one place to another.
10. Energy transfer that happens when push or pull force moves an object. Work = force + movement
9. By colliding or hitting another object.
11. Disturbances that move energy without moving matter.
12. Transfer of sound through vibration of an object. They must pass through matter such as air or water.
Horizontally across the surface of the water
They move through empty space, matter, & water. They spread out in all directions
