Transferred or transformed to other energy: A change of energy from one form to another

(e.g., mechanical to electrical, solar to electrical)

Solar radiation energy: The energy transmitted from the sun in the form of
electromagnetic radiation.

Ultraviolet light energy: Ultraviolet (UV) light is electromagnetic radiation with a


wavelength shorter than that of visible light, but longer than x-rays, in the range 400 nm
to 10 nm, and energies from 3 eV to 124 eV

Radiant heat energy: Radiant heat is a unique transfer of energy that naturally searches
out colder objects to warm. Instead of rising like warm air, radiant heat starts by warming
the coldest and closest objects from its source.

Nuclear Energy: Nuclear energy is released by the splitting (fission) or merging together
(fusion) of the nuclei of atom(s)

Chemical Energy: The energy held in the covalent bonds between atoms in a molecule is
called chemical energy.

Energy from sun: Solar Energy is the radiant light and heat from the Sun that has been
harnessed by humans since ancient times using a range of ever-evolving technologies.

Mechanical Energy: In physics, mechanical energy describes the potential energy and
kinetic energy present in the components of a mechanical system.

Kinetic energy: The kinetic energy of an object is the extra energy which it possesses due
to its motion.

Potential Energy: Potential energy can be thought of as energy stored within a physical
system

Machine: A device consisting of fixed and moving parts that modifies mechanical energy
and transmits it in a more useful form.

Pulley: a wheel, with a grooved rim for carrying a line, that turns in a frame or block and
serves to change the direction of or to transmit force, as when one end of the line is
pulled to raise a weight at the other end: one of the simple machines.

Lever: a rigid bar that pivots about one point and that is used to move an object at a
second point by a force applied at a third.

Tool: A device, such as a saw, used to perform or facilitate manual or mechanical work.

Battery: a combination of two or more cells electrically connected to work together to


produce electric energy.
Spring Scale: a balance that measure weight by the tension on a helical spring.

Vocabulary: the stock of words used by or known to a particular people or group of


persons.

Work: exertion or effort directed to produce or accomplish something; labor; toil.

Newton: the SI unit of force, equal to the force that produces an acceleration of one meter
per second per second on a mass of one kilogram.

Mechanical advantage: the ratio of output force to the input force applied to a
mechanism.

Motion: the action or process of moving or of changing place or position; movement.

Gravitational force: force of attraction between all masses in the universe; especially the
attraction of the earth's mass for bodies near its surface; "the more remote the body the
less the gravity"; "the gravitation between two bodies is proportional to the product of
their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them";
"gravitation cannot be held responsible for people falling in love"--Albert Einstein

Power: ability to do or act; capability of doing or accomplishing something.
