potential energy
Potential energy is the stored energy in an object due to its position, arrangement, or state, such as height, stress, or electric charge
kinetic energy
Kinetic energy is the energy an object possesses due to its motion
elastic energy
Elastic energy is the mechanical potential energy stored in an elastic object when it is deformed, such as being stretched, compressed, or bent
chemical potential energy
Chemical potential energy is the energy stored within the chemical bonds of a substance
gravitational potential energy
Gravitational potential energy (GPE) is the energy an object has due to its position in a gravitational field
mechanical energy
Mechanical energy is the total energy of an object due to its motion (kinetic energy) and its position (potential energy)
law of conservation of energy
energy cannot be destroyed or created
work
what energy gos into
input force

machine
something that uses energy
power
using energy
mechanical advantage
Mechanical advantage is a measure of how a machine amplifies force, making a task easier by using less input force
efficency
Efficiency is the ability to achieve a task or goal with the least amount of wasted time, effort, money, or energy
