Potential energy is the stored energy that can be used to perform work.
Kinetic energy is the energy of motion.
In the diagram, the child on a swing displays both potential and kinetic energy in action.
Potential energy is at its highest level when the child has reached the top of the swinging motion (A).
Kinetic energy increases as the child begins to swing back towards the center of the swing set.
Kinetic energy is at its highest level at the bottom of this curve, while potential energy is at its lowest value there (B).
Energy transformation is the process of changing from one form of energy to another.
Energy is the ability to do work or cause change.
There are many different forms of energy, and they can be converted from one form to another.
Potential Energy is the energy of position or shape of a body.
Chemical Energy is the energy of chemical reactions between atoms or molecules.
Gravitational Energy is the energy of attraction between objects based on their mass.
Kinetic Energy is the energy of motion of a body.
Mechanical Energy is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy in motion.
Perpetual motion machines are impossible, according to the second law of thermodynamics.
In simpler terms, entropy is a measure of chaos or the spreading out of energy.
Radiant Energy is the energy of light or electromagnetic waves.
Thermal energy is transferred from an object of higher temperature and cannot be transferred from an object with lower temperature to an object with higher temperature.
Entropy is a concept in thermodynamics and statistical mechanics that represents the degree of disorder or randomness in a system.
The first law of thermodynamics states that the change in internal energy of a system is equal to the net heat transfer into the system plus the net work done on the system.
Heat is a form of energy that can be transferred from one object to another, while work is the energy required to move an object.
Any object in motion uses kinetic energy.
The first law of thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or converted from one form to another.
The second law of thermodynamics states that heat naturally flows from hot to cold and entropy increases.
Thermodynamics is a branch of physics that deals with the relationship between heat and other forms of energy.
The less order in a system, the greater its entropy is.
The total amount of energy in a closed system remains constant over time, according to the law of conservation of energy.
Entropy is a measure of the system's unavailable energy for doing work.
Thermal Energy is the vibrations of atoms and molecules within materials.
Sound Energy is the energy produced by vibrating sound waves moving through a medium.
Nuclear Energy is the energy of changes in the nuclei of atoms.
Electrical Energy is the energy produced by the movement of electrons.
Conservation of Energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be transformed from one form to another.
Mechanical Energy (ME = KE + PE) is energy related to motion and location.
Potential energy is stored in the material.
Kinetic energy is motion.
Work done = force x distance moved in direction of force
Energy can be transferred from one object to another by work done or heat transfer.
