Kinetic and Potential Energy have many
forms
1. Mechanical Energy -
Energy associated with Energy associated with motion or positionmotion or position
Examples: most moving objects have mechanical energy
2. Thermal Energy (Heat) -
Total energy of the Total energy of the particles in an objectparticles in an object
Example: Heating causes the particles to move faster = more thermal energy
3. Chemical energy -
Energy stored in Energy stored in chemical bondschemical bonds
Examples: wood, food, gasoline, Examples: wood, food, gasoline, batteriesbatteries
4. Electrical energy -
Energy of moving Energy of moving electronselectrons
Example : electric outletExample : electric outlet
5. Radiant or Electromagnetic (Light) energy
Travels in wavesTravels in waves
Examples: lightbulb, Examples: lightbulb, microwavemicrowave
6. Sound energy-
Caused by an object’s Caused by an object’s vibrationsvibrations
Example : guitar, boomboxExample : guitar, boombox
7. Nuclear energy -
Potential energy stored in Potential energy stored in the nucleus of an atomthe nucleus of an atom
Example : nuclear power Example : nuclear power plants, sunplants, sun
Energy Conversions -
A change from one form A change from one form of energy to anotherof energy to another
Conversion example 1
Lamp : electrical Lamp : electrical energy converts to energy converts to
light energylight energy
Conversion example 2:
Water heater : Chemical Water heater : Chemical energy of gas to thermal energy of gas to thermal
(heat ) energy(heat ) energy
Conversion example 3:
Human body : converts Human body : converts chemical energy in food to chemical energy in food to
mechanical energymechanical energy
