2. What is Energy? The ability to do work and transfer heat Types of Energy Kinetic- Energy in motion Potential- Stored energy due to the position of the object

3. Types of Kinetic Energy Electric energy- flow of charged particles Mechanical Energy- used to move or lift matter Light Energy- energy produced by sunlight Thermal energy- motion of particles in matter

4. Electrical Energy When electrons are flowing through a wire or through hundreds of feet of air, it is because they are being "pushed" through a distance. While the electrons are moving they contain kinetic energy.

5. Mechanical Energy In order to get these various objects spinning or rolling, a force has to be exerted. Work is a force acting through a distance, or an energy transfer process.

6. Light Energy Includes visible light, x-rays gamma rays, and radio waves. The electromagnetic spectrum—a continuous range of energy

7. Thermal Energy Heat is the measure of how fast particles move. The force that propels particles to move is known as kinetic energy

8. Types of Potential Energy Chemical Energy is stored in the chemical bonds holding matter such as coal or oil together. Nuclear Energy: is the energy stored in the nuclei of atoms

9. Nuclear Energy Energy is stored within the nuclei of an atom. This energy stored within the atom is referred to as potential energy. Example: -Nuclear fission -Nuclear fusion

10. Chemical Energy Energy that is stored in molecular bonds, the forces that hold molecules together. So releasing chemical energy must mean the energy is finally free from its molecular bonds. Example- carbohydrate molecules
