  • Elastic Potential Energy
    A type of PE in which energy is stored in things that can be stretched like springs or rubber bands.
  • Electric KE
    A type of KE in which energy is produced by moving electrons.
  • Electromagnetic KE
    A type of KE in which energy is produced in waves which include X-Rays, microwaves and light.
  • Energy
    The ability to do work (move an object through a distance)
  • Energy transformation
    A change of energy from one form to another. This may include changes from PE to KE or one form of KE to another.
  • Foot pound
    The British unit of work which is produced when an object weighing one pound is moved a distance of one foot.
  • Gravitational PE
    A type of PE in which energy is stored an object which is raised up. Also known as positional PE.
  • Horsepower
    The British unit of power. It is equivalent to 550 foot- pounds per second.
  • Joule
    The metric unit of work. It also known as the Newton Meter. It is produced when an object with a weight of one Newton is moved a distance of one meter.
  • KE
    Abbreviation for kinetic energy
  • Kinetic Energy
    Energy of movement
  • Law of Conservation of Energy
    Energy is neither produced nor destroyed but may be converted from one form into another without any loss to the system.
  • Mechanical KE
    A type of KE which is characterized by moving parts like a clock or a pendulum
  • Nuclear KE
    A type of KE which is produced by radioactive substances.
  • Formula for KE
    one half m v squared
