Different forms of energy

1. Different forms of energy By: J uanis King

2. Kinetic Energy * Energy in motion *The energy that an object has because of its motion Example There are two people riding a roller Coaster. Their hands are way b ehind there heads. This shows that the Roller coaster had kinetic energy, or “it was very fast”

3. Potential energy *Stored energy Example This picture is showing a man holding a bow and arrow. He is trying to aim a t the target. He is holding the bow a nd arrow and pulling while holding the string. He is creating potential e nergy . Then he will fire it and Hit the target, which made kinetic e nergy.

4. Nuclear energy *energy that is released either by splitting atomic nuclei by forcing the nuclei of atoms together Example This picture is showing how uranium is made. Uranium can explode. The colorful smoke is from uranium which is n uclear energy.

5. Electrical energy Energy of electrical charges as a result of their position or motion Example The electrical outlet in the picture makes electrical energy by plugging f ans , laptops, phone, tablet ,and other electrical devices.

6. Chemical energy Energy stored in the arrangement of atoms and molecules Example When the match is struck , it burns and the chemical energy in it produces heat energy and light energy.

7. Gravitational energy * is the energy associated with the gravitational field . *The release of gravitational energy by matter falling towards a massive black hole is the only process known that can produce such high power continuously. Stellar explosions –supernovas and gamma-ray bursts – can do so, but only for a few weeks . Example the weight that you push down creates gravitational energy

8. Sound energy *is the form of energy associated with the vibration or disturbance of matter . *Sound waves require some kinds of materials to travel through Example A guitar has sound energy because when you strum the strings, it it makes sound.

9. Mechanical energy *is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy Example wind power into mechanical energy to generate electricity at wind farms

10. Thermal energy *Energy due to the motion and arrangement of molecules in a substance Example Thermal energy is the energy a substance or system has related to its temperature , i.e ., the energy of moving or vibrating molecules

11. Energy transformation Energy transformation is a change of energy from one form to another. Example T he differences of the two light bulbs is that the one on the left was off, and the One on the right is on. The energy change from “ off” to “ on”, or is called potential Energy to light energy.
