Potential energy
Stored energy
Kinetic energy
Energy in motion
What energy has both potential and kinetic energy?
Mechanical energy
Most real world collision is elastic.
False, partially elastic
Examples of acoustic sources
earthquakes, explosions, bass speakers, submarine sonar equipment, human vocal cords, piccolos, jet engines, dog whistles, bats, and medical ultra sound diagnostic equipment
Force
Push or pull
Work
Product of a force of an object
Mechanical energy
The motion of objects
Has potential and kinetic energy
Thermal energy
The sum total motion of all atoms and molecules in an object
Kinetic energy of particles
Acoustic energy
the transmission of energy through matter by particle oscillations that occur in specific directions
Electrical energy
Charged objects exert field force, charged particles
Magnetic energy
Deals with magnetic field force
Radiant energy
Deals with magnetism and electricity
Chemical energy
Results from chemical changes
Nuclear energy
Energy in nuclear bonds
Mass energy
Energy from mass
Zero reference position
The position from which this distance is measured
What’s the sum total motion of all atoms and molecules in an object?
Thermal energy
What represents the largest potential energy?
Mass energy
Elastic
Kinetic energy is conserved
No real world collision is perfectly elastic
Partially elastic
collision the rebounding objects are temporarily or permanently deformed in some way
Most real world collisions is perfectly elastic
Inelastic collision
colliding objects stick together after the collision
Kinetic energy is not consumed
Energy
Ability to do work
How is energy is measured?
Joules
