Science chapter 3 and 4

Ability to do work or cause change.

Change in position relative to another object.

A push or pull.

Work is done when a force causes an object to move in the same direction as the force.

The rate at which work is done.

Energy resulting from the position or shape of an object.

Energy an object has because it is in motion.

Total energy an object has due to its motion, shape, or position.

Type of potential energy stored in the nucleus of an atom.

Process where the nucleus of an atom splits, releasing energy.

Total kinetic and potential energy of an object.

Faster particles mean more heat which equals more energy.

Form of potential energy released when chemical bonds are broken.

Energy from electrical charges and electrons.

Kinetic energy that travels through space in waves.

When one form of energy changes into another.

When energy moves from one object to another.

Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or transformed.

Transfer of energy from one object to another through direct contact.

Transfer of heat through the movement of fluids (like air or water).

Patterns of air movement where heated air rises and cooler air sinks.
