Mo9-L3a Energy?
KEY CONCEPTS:
1. What is energy?
2. What are kinetic and potential energy?
Vocabulary A-Z
Let us learn some vocabulary
energy mechanical energy
the ability to cause a change. the energy an object has because of a combination
of the following:
• the movement of its parts (kinetic energy), and
• the position of its parts (potential energy)
thermal energy
the sum of the kinetic energy and potential energy of
kinetic energy the particles that make up an object.
the energy an object has because it is in motion.
