Matching Pairs Work and EnergyOnline version vocabulary exercise for work and energy by Monica Watkins 1 Compound machine 2 Mechanical advantage 3 Law of conservation of energy 4 Energy 5 Efficiency 6 Potential energy 7 Simple machine 8 Kinetic energy 9 Power 10 Work 11 Gravitational potential energy 12 Mechanical energy the rate at which energy is converted is the ratio of output work to input work force applied through a distance energy that is stored due to the interactions between objects the sum of the kinetic energy and potential energy of the objects in a system the ratio of the output force to input force energy due to motion a combination of two or more simple machines the ability to cause change energy that is due to the gravitational forces between objects a machine that does work with only one movement of the machine states that energy cannot be created or destroyed
