a measure of the capacity of a body or system to do work
Kinetic energy
the energy of motion of an object, equal to the work it would do if brought to rest
Gravitational potential energy (GPE)
the energy gained by raising an object above ground level (due to the force of gravity)
Elastic energy
the energy stored in a stretched / compressed elastic object, like a spring
Internal energy
the sum of the energy of all the particles that make up a system, i.e. the total kinetic and potential energy of all the particles added together
Specific heat capacity
the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of one kilogram of substance by one degree Celsius
Reproducible
results are reproducible if the investigation / experiment can be repeated by another person, or by using different equipment / techniques, and the same results are obtained, demonstrating that the results are reliable
Transferred
refers to how energy is changed, e.g. chemical energy can be transferred to electric energy
Dissipated
wasted, scattered or spread out (to the surroundings)
Conductivity
a measure of the ability of a substance to conduct electricity
Anomalous
a data value that is significantly above or below the expected value / outside a pattern or trend
