-------------------------the kind of energy stored in a stretched or compressed material the energy of moving electrons

------------------------the capacity to do work

------------------------a reverse motor, which uses kinetic energy as its input and outputs electric current

the kind of energy stored in an object due to its height in a gravitational field

----------------------a motor vehicle equipped with both an electric motor and a gasoline engine

----------------------the energy of an object in motion

----------------------* "Energy cannot be created or destroyed; it can be transformed or transferred."

------------------------a resource which when used cannot be replaced within a human lifespan

------------------------the type of energy stored inside the nuclei of atoms

-------------------------the rate with respect to time at which work is done or energy is transferred or transformed
