types and forms of energy

• energy is the ability to do work, when work is done on an object, energy is transferred to that object
• energy can be classified into two types: kinetic energy and potential energy
• potential energy is the energy stored in an object due to its position or shape
• potential energy can be based on location of an object and a object's elasticity
• potential energy is also known as gravitational energy which refers to an object's position in relation to the ground
• elastic potential energy refers to an object's elasticity or relation to elastic materials like rubber
• kinetic energy is energy in motion
• chemical energy is the energy stored in the bonds of molecules in a substance
• elastic energy is the energy stored in objects by the application of force
• nuclear energy is energy released during nuclear fusion or fission
• nuclear fusion is the joining of two light nuclei to form a heavier nucleus
• nuclear fission is the splitting of heavy nuclei
• nuclear is the most abundant element in the universe and is found in the nucleus of an atom
• nucleus is the control center of the cell and contains the genetic material in the form of chromosomes
• chromosomes is a threadlike structure made of DNA molecules that carry genetic information
• nuclei is the central part of the cell, where most of the cell's activities take place
• gravitational potential energy is the energy of position or place
• radiant or light energy is the energy transferred by electromagnetic waves, such as light
• sound energy is the energy produced by vibrating objects, such as a drum or a violin
• thermal or heat energy is the vibration and movement of the atoms and molucules with a substance
• electrical energy is an energy produced by moving electrons
• an atom is the smallest particle of an element that can exist and still be that element
• static electricity is produced when two objects are rubbed together
• mechanical energy is a form of energy possessed by a moving object or energy stored in a structure of an object due to its position
