What is it?
|
Example?
|
Kinetic energy
|
Energy in movement
|
Wind,water and electricity
|
Mechanical energy
|
Makes things move by workable moving part or parts
|
Wind up toy, scissors
|
Thermal energy
|
different forms such as chemical energy, electrical energy, heat
|

|
Magnetic energy
|
Energy from attraction of objects made of iron
|
resonance imaging, or MRI, machine,
|
Electrical energy
|
An example:Lightning. Electrical charges moving through a wire or electricity. Static electricity.
|
A charged wire is called current, or more commonly, electricity.
|
Potential energy
|
Stored Energy
|
chemical,and nuclear energy
|
Gravitational energy
|
Energy stored in objects held above the earth’s surface
|
It is associated with gravity or gravitational force.
|
Elastic energy
|
Elastic energy occurs when objects are compressed and stretched, or generally deformed in any manner.
|
Slingshot,
|
Chemical energy
|
stored in the bonds of chemical compounds (atoms and molecules)
|
Batteries, biomass, petroleum, natural gas,
|
Nuclear energy
|
The energy released during nuclear fission or fusion especially when used to generate energy.
|
Nuclear power plant - provides electricity
