    What is energy?

    The ability to do work.

    What are the two types of energy?

    Potential energy and kinetic energy.

    How is energy measured?

    In joules.

    What is potential energy?

    Stored energy based on an object's position.

    What is kinetic energy?

    Energy possessed by a moving object.

    How does chemical energy differ from elastic energy?

    Chemical energy is stored in atomic bonds, while elastic energy is stored due to deformation.

    What is gravitational energy?

    Potential energy based on an object's height.

    What happens to potential energy in a slingshot?

    It is converted into kinetic energy when the object is flung.

    What is mechanical energy?

    The sum of an object's kinetic and potential energy.

    What causes thermal energy?

    Vibrating molecules due to increased temperature.

    What is light energy?

    Electromagnetic energy traveling in waves.

    What does the law of conservation of energy state?

    Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed.

    How is electrical energy generated?

    By moving electrical charges called electrons.

    What is sound energy?

    Movement of energy through a substance in waves.
