Transcript
Different Forms of Energy A. Mechanical Energy • 1. The total amount of kinetic and potential energy • 2. Anything in motion has mechanical energy! • Example – a toy wind up car B. Electrical Energy • 1. This energy is in the form of moving electric charges • 2. This is also called electricity. • Example – energy that flows through wires to power objects C. Electromagnetic Energy • 1. This energy is in a form that can travel through a vacuum. • Example – light, x-rays, microwaves • ANYTHING that is found in the electromagnetic spectrum. D. Heat Energy • 1. Also called thermal energy • 2. The energy of the moving particles in matter • Example – all forms of matter contain some heat energy!!! E. Chemical Energy • 1. The energy that holds matter together • 2. Chemical energy is stored until those bonds are broken. • Example– food, wood, coal, gasoline F. Nuclear Energy • 1. The energy stored in the nucleus of the atom • 2. The nucleus contains the protons (+) and neutrons (0) • 3. When the nucleus is split, that energy is released in the form of heat & light • 4. Nuclear energy can also be released when small nuclei combine (the Sun!)
