Scientific names.

1. Speed
the distance traveled divided by the time taken to travel the distance

2Velocity
the speed of the object and direction of its motion

3Mass
the amount of matter in the object

4Distance
how far you have gone

5Formula for speed

distance traveled/time elapsed
6Formula for velocity
change in displacement/time traveled

7Formula for velocity

change in displacement/time traveled

8energy
the ability to do work

9Kinetic energy
the energy an object has due to its motion

10Potential energy
stored energy that results from the position or shape of an object

11mechanical energy
Potential - energy associated with the motion or position of an object

12electrical energy
Kinetic - The energy of electric charges caused by movement of electrons.

13chemical energy
Potential energy stored in chemical bonds (atoms and molecules). It is released in a
chemical reaction, often producing heat as a by product.

14nuclear energy
Potential - the energy stored in the nucleus of an atom

15Radiant energy
Kinetic - A form of energy that travels through space as waves. Examples: x rays, radio
waves, the sun

16Sound Energy
The vibration of atoms produce sound energy.
Sound is produced when a force causes an object or substance to vibrate the energy
is transferred through the substance in a wave. Typically, the energy in sound is far
less than other forms of energy.
Sound cannot travel in a vacuum because a vacuum has no atoms to transmit the
vibration.

17Mechanical to Heat
Ex. rubbing 2 pieces of wood together to start a fire!

18Chemical to Mechanical
Ex. driving a gasoline powered car!

19Kinetic to Sound

Ex. a book falling to the floor!

20Kinetic to Heat
Ex. rubbing your hands together!

21Electrical to Heat
Ex. the toaster changes its electrical energy to heat!

22Heat to Chemical
Ex. the stoves heat causes a chemical reaction to turn the egg form liquid to solid!

23Chemical to Light and Heat

Ex. the chemical reaction in the wick being transformed to light and heat!

24Potential to Kinetic
Ex. a stretched rubber band is released!

25Kinetic to Potential
Ex. i lift a heavy book and put it on a shelf!
