The ability to do work

• energy

• systems

• The Law of Conservation of Energy

Set of parts that work together

• energy

• systems

• The Law of Conservation of Energy

energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be transferred from one part if the system to other parts

• energy

• The Law of Conservation of Energy

stored energy

• potential energy

• kinetic energy

potential energy

• stored in systems

• waiting to be released

• not being used

• moving

Potential energy can be divided into

• chemical energy

• gravitational energy

• mechanical energy

• nuclear energy

• electrical energy

Potential energy can be divided into

• chemical energy

• gravitational energy

• magnetic energy

• nuclear energy

• elastic energy

When you stretch an elastic band, you give it

• potential energy

• kinetic energy

If you keep on stretching an elastic band, the potential energy

• dies.

• decreases

• increases

When you release a stretched elastic band, it

• no longer has potential energy.

• increases in potential energy.

• converts the energy into another type of energy
