Energy
________ can be stored and it can move from place to place.
Kinetic Energy
the energy a moving object has because of its motion
Joule
The SI unit of energy
Potential Energy
Stored energy due to position
Elastic Potential Energy
energy stored by something that can stretch or compress, such as a rubber band or spring
Chemical Potential Energy
Energy stored in chemical bonds
Gravitational Potential Energy
energy stored by objects due to their position above Earths surface
Mechanical Energy
the total amount of potential and kinetic energy in a system and can be expressed by this equation
The Law of Conservation of Energy
states that energy cannot be created or destroyed
