Answer:

Acceleration Due to Gravity

9.8 m/s^2 or 32 ft/s^2, the change in velocity per second at the surface of the earth

Chemical Energy

energy derived from chemical bonding between atoms

Displacement

The length of the shortest path from one point to another

Distance

the length of any given path connecting two points

electrical energy

energy derived from charges in motion

energy

the capacity to do work

force

a push or pull

geothermal energy

energy obtained from steam or water heated below the earth's surface by natural sources of heat

heat energy

energy that results when a temperature change occurs

hydroelectric energy

energy obtained when water behind a dam is used to turn a generator

kinetic energy

energy an object has due to its motion

light energy

energy derived from light

mass

the amount of matter an object has

nuclear energy

energy derived from nuclei of atoms

potential energy

energy stored in an object due to its position

solar energy

energy obtained from the sun

tidal energy

energy obtained from the earth's tides

wind energy

energy obtained from the wind

work

that which occurs when a force moves through a net displacement; the tangible product of expended energy

Efficiency

A measure of the ratio of work done to work available

Law of Conservation of Energy

The principle which states that the total amount of energy in a system isolated from the rest of the universe remains constant although energy may be transformed from one form to another within the system

Power

rate at which work is done or energy expended

Calorie

The amount of heat needed to raise one gram of water one Celsius degree

Gaseous Phase

A state in which matter occupies all available space

Liquid Phase

The state in which matter takes the shape of its container

Plasma Phase

The highest energy state of matter in which matter is ionized

Rotational Motion

Motion on an axis; spin

Solid Phase

The lowest energy state, in which matter definite shape and volume

Specific Heat

The amount of heat added or removed from one gram of matter to change its temperature by one Celsius degree

Temperature

That which matter exhibits by virtue of its molecular motion; a measure of heat

Thermodynamics

The study of energy conversions between heat energy and mechanical energy

Translational motion

change of location

Vibrational Motion

motion with no net displacement

Latent Heat of Fusion

the heat needed to change one unit of matter from liquid to solid with no change in temperature

Latent Heat of Vaporizaion

The heat needed to change one unit of matter from liquid to gas with no change in temperature

First Law of Heat and Thermodynamics

The principle which states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed; the total amount of energy is constant but may be converted from one form to another

Heat Engine

An engine that operates on a temperature difference and releases a great deal of heat

Second Law of Heat and Thermodynamics

The principle which states that whenever energy is transformed from one form to another, some energy is dissipated as heat energy that is useless and cannot be transformed into mechanical energy
