Forms of Energy & Energy Transfer

The ability to do work. energy inertia momentum Stored energy like a car engine turned off. kinetic energy potential energy chemical energy Motion like a car engine turned on and driving. potential energy kinetic energy inertia Energy cannot be created or destroyed. It is transferred. Reservation of energy Conservation of energy It is stored when materials stretch or compress. (like a rubber band...) Gravitational potential energy wave energy Elastic potential energy Found in anything that’s above the ground where gravity is pulling on it. Gravitational potential Energy Elastic potential energy Light absorption The movement of energy from one thing to another, or the change of energy from one form to another Energy conservation Energy creation Energy transfer Gravitational Potential Energy Explain why an object that is higher from the ground will have more gravitational potential energy than an object that is lower to the ground. Elastic Potential Energy Explain how elastic potential energy works.
