Types of Energy

• Nuclear energy is the energy stored in unstable or radioactive atoms.
• Electrical energy is the energy carried by electricity moving in a wire
• Chemical energy is the energy generated from chemical reactions
• Gravitational energy is motion caused by gravity.
• Kinetic energy is the energy of moving objects.
• Sound energy is the energy carried by sound waves.
• Heat energy is the energy in an object due to the random motion of its particles.
• Elastic energy is the energy stored in an object due to a force that changes it shape.
• Light energy is the energy carried by light waves
• PE+KE=Mechanical Energy
• Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred from one form to another.
• Radiation is the process of heat transfer by electromagnetic waves.
• Convection is the particles around a local heat source moving upwards and downwards.
