4. Potential Energy – Stored energy an object has due to its
position.
5. Elastic Potential Energy – Energy stored when an object is
compressed or stretched.
6. Chemical Potential Energy – Energy stored in chemical bonds.
7. Gravitational Potential Energy – Energy stored by objects
due to their position above Earth's surface; depends on the
distance above Earth's surface and the object's mass.
8. Mechanical Energy – Sum of the potential energy and kinetic
energy in a system.
9. Law of Conservation of Energy – States that energy can
never be created or destroyed.
