• The ability to do work or cause change; the ability to move an object some distance.

• The speed and direction of moving objects.

• Distance traveled per unit of time

What is potential energy?

• When two equal forces are applied to an object.

• The potential energy associated with stretched or compressed objects such as springs or rubber bands.

• Distance traveled per unit of time

• The amount of energy that is stored in an object; energy that an object has because of it’s position relative to other objects.

What is gravitational potential energy?

• Energy that an object has because of its motion or position.

• A metric unit of describing mass.

• A string or bar that is loose at one end but fixed at the other and can rotate or swing around a fixed point.

• The energy stored in an object that has been lifted up against the force of gravity

What is mechanical energy?

• The potential energy associated with stretched or compressed objects such as springs or rubber bands.

• Energy that an object has because of its motion or position.

• Energy cannot be created out of nothing, nor

  can it be completely destroyed. Energy can only change its form.

• A string or bar that is loose at one end but fixed at the other and can rotate or swing around a fixed point
