TYPES OF ENERGY

MECHANICAL

• Examples:a hammer and a nail & a bow and an arrow
• Definition:the total energy of motion and position of an object

THERMAL ENERGY

• Definition-Particles, atoms and molecules that are constantly in motion
• When particles are in motion in a very high velocity
• Two Examples:The Ocean & Steam

CHEMICAL

• Definition - is the energy of a compound that changes as its atoms are rearranged to form a new compounds. ◦ Explanation - chemical energy is a form of potential energy. ◦ Example:Chemical energy is stored in the melted marshmallow's sugar molecules. ◦ Example:Some molecules that have many atoms bonded together for example gasoline.

ELECTRICAL ENERGY

• Is the energy that flows with electric through a conductor
• A energy has electric in it during its use
• Examples: an outlet of a house, the Lightning

SOUND ENERGY

• Definition: An object's vibration
• Own Words: Energy associated with noise/vibration
• Examples: Music & Speaking

LIGHT ENERGY

• Definition - is produced by the vibrations of electrically charged particles. ◦ Light vibrations cause energy to be transmitted. ◦ Example-The energy used to cook food in a microwave is a form of light energy. ◦ Example-Radar systems that are used for air- traffic control use a form of light energy.

NUCLEAR eNERGY

• The energy released during a nuclear fission or fusion
• An energy that has let out their energy during its fusion
• Energy:A bomb going off & Nuclear power plant
