Forms of Energy
Forms of Energy

All forms of Energy fall under 2 categories:

Potential and Kinetic
Potential Energy

Potential energy is stored
energy and the energy of
position (gravitational).
KE to PE and PE to KE
Chemical Energy

Chemical energy is the energy stored in the bonds
of atoms and molecules. Biomass, petroleum,
natural gas, propane and coal are examples of
stored chemical energy.
Nuclear energy

Nuclear energy is the energy stored in the nucleus
of an atom. It is the energy that holds the nucleus
together. The nucleus of a uranium atoms is an
example of nuclear energy. This type of energy
comes from nuclear fission or fusion.
Stored Mechanical Energy

Stored mechanical energy is energy stored in
objects or substances by the application of a force.
Compressed metal springs and stretched rubber
bands are examples of stored mechanical energy.
Gravitational Energy

Gravitational energy is
the energy of place or
position. Water held in a
reservoir behind a
hydropower dam is an
example of gravitational
potential energy. When
the water in the reservoir
is released to spin the
turbines, it becomes
motion energy.
Kinetic energy

Kinetic energy is motion.
It is the motion of waves,
electrons, atoms,
molecules and
substances.
Radiant Energy

Radiant energy is
electromagnetic energy
that travels in transverse
waves. Radiant energy
includes visible light, xrays, gamma rays and
radio waves. Solar
energy is an example.
Thermal Energy

Thermal energy (or heat) is the internal energy in
substances. It is the vibration and movement of
atoms and molecules within substances.
Motion

The movement of objects or substances from one
place to another is motion. Wind is an example of
motion energy.
Sound

Sound is the movement of energy through objects
or substances in longitudinal waves.
Electrical Energy

Electrical energy is the movement of electrons.
Lightning and electricity are examples of electrical
energy.
