Forms of Energy

Types (kinds) of Energy KE (kinetic energy) PE (potential energy) There are 2 different TYPES of energy, but there are more specific FORMS of Energy. Let’s see how each of these forms are different!

Energy can be transferred, or converted, from one form to another! Forms of Energy Mechanical Thermal Chemical Sound Electrical Electromagnetic/radient/light Nuclear Energy can be transferred, or converted, from one form to another!

Energy associated with the motion of an object. Mechanical Energy Energy associated with the motion of an object. Chewing Sound Frog Dancing

Examples of Mechanical Energy

Total energy of the particles in a substance or material. Thermal Energy Total energy of the particles in a substance or material. All objects give off thermal energy Ex: Ice cream melting gains thermal energy

Potential energy stored in chemical bonds. Chemical Energy Potential energy stored in chemical bonds. Food Fire Cracker Stomach Battery

Examples of Chemical Energy

Sound Energy Energy of molecules vibrating creating a sound wave.

Moving electrical charges that produce electricity and energy. Electrical Energy Moving electrical charges that produce electricity and energy. Static Shock Lightening Computers/TVs/Radios Lights

Electromagnetic Energy Energy that travels in waves Visible light UV Rays Microwaves

Energy stored in the nucleus of an atom from fission or fusion Nuclear Power Energy stored in the nucleus of an atom from fission or fusion Sun Stars Nuclear Power Plant
