How does Energy Change Form? Mr. Leslie’s Class
Potential Energy Potential Energy- is energy that is stored in an object. It is due to the object’s position or to substances the object is made of. Example: A diver standing on the diving board has potential energy because she is above Earth’s surface and will fall due to the force of Earth’s gravity. Olympic Divers
Kinetic Energy Energy that an object has because it is moving is kinetic energy. Energy often changes back and forth between potential and kinetic energy. Smart Car Crash
Forms of Energy Electrical Energy- is a form of energy that you can use to run appliances Light Energy – is a form of energy you can see. Sound Energy – is a form of energy you can hear
More… Forms of Energy Thermal Energy is a form of energy that you can feel as heat. Mechanical energy is a form of energy an object has due to its motion Chemical energy – is a form of energy that is stored in matter
