CHEMICAL ENERGY is the energy
stored in the bonds between atoms and
molecules. Food, fuel, and the energy
stored in the chemicals inside a battery
are examples.
NUCLEAR ENERGY is the energy
stored in the nucleus of an atom –
the energy that holds the nucleus
together. The energy in the nucleus
of a uranium atom or in the nuclei of
atoms in our Sun are examples.
MECHANICAL POTENTIAL ENERGY
is energy stored in objects due to shape
or position. Compressed springs,
stretched rubber bands, an apple
hanging from a tree, and a parked car
at the top of a hill are examples.
RADIANT/LIGHT ENERGY is
electromagnetic energy that travels
in waves. Visible light, UV radiation, xrays, and gamma rays are examples.
THERMAL ENERGY or heat is the
vibration or movement of atoms
and molecules in substances.
Heat from a campfire is an example.
MECHANICAL KINETIC ENERGY is
energy matter has because of its
motion. Wind, moving cars, & waterfalls
are examples.
SOUND is the energy caused by an
objects vibrations. Echoes and music are
examples.
ELECTRICAL ENERGY is the
movement of electrons. Lightning
and electricity are examples.
