The document outlines 8 main forms of energy: potential energy, kinetic energy, heat energy, chemical energy, electrical energy, light energy, sound energy, and nuclear energy. It provides brief definitions and examples for each form of energy, such as potential energy being stored energy from gravity or elasticity, kinetic energy being the energy from an object's motion, and nuclear energy being released during fission or fusion reactions.
Forms of energy
- 2. Forms of energy. Forms of energy : 1-potential energy 2- kinetic energy 3-heat energy 4-chemical energy 5-electrical energy 6-light energy 7-sound energy 8-nuclear energy
- 3. Potential energy Potential energy is a form of stored energy. There is gravitational potential energy and elastic potential energy.
- 4. kinetic energy Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by a body due to its motion.
- 5. Heat energy Is a form of energy which flows from an region of high energy to another energy of lower energy.
- 6. Chemical energy Is the stored energy usually formed in food fuels batteries and chemical explosive.
- 7. Electrical energy Involves the flow of electric current or electric charges.
- 8. Light energy Is a form of energy which enable us to see.
- 9. Sound energy Sound energy is produced by vibration.
- 10. Nuclear energy Nuclear energy is released during nuclear fission or nuclear fusion.
