Explanation:
energy: power derived from the utilization of physical or chemical resources
kenetic energy: energy which a body possesses by virtue of being in motion
potential energy: the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position relative to others
work: forced multiples distance
mechanical energy: energy of an object due to its motion or position; the sum of an objects kenetic energy and potential energy
sound energy: movement of energy through a substance
thermal energy: refers to energy contained within a system that is responsible for its temperature
electric energy: energy (both kinetic and potential) in the changed particles of an atom that can be used to apply force and/or do work
radiant energy: energy that travels by waves or particles
nuclear energy: energy in the nucleus, or core, of an atom
