mechanical energy-  a type of energy an object has due to its motion or position	reflect-  to bounce light, sound, or heat off of a surface
electrical energy-  an electric charge that lets work be accomplished	transparent- able to be seen through
thermal (heat) energy-  the energy an object has because of the movement of its molecules	translucent-  allowing light to pass through, but it will be difficult to see clearly
sound energy-  energy made by vibrations	opaque- no light can pass through
pitch-  the relative frequency (high or low) of a sound as perceived by a listener.	friction-  a force that opposes motion through direct contact (rubbing hands together creates thermal energy)
