A
Energy stored as heat
7
Q
Energy
A
What it takes to make an object moves or create another kind of change
8
Q
What does doubling the mass of an object to do to the kinetic energy of an object?
A
It doubles the kinetic energy of the object
9
Q
What is the law of conservation of energy
A
It states that energy can either be created or destroyed only converted from one form of energy to another, or transformed.
