energy and its types
Kinetic Energy
( energy of motion )
Mechanical Energy
due to the
motion of an object
e.g : moving car
Electrical Energy
due to the
flow of electric charges
e.g : lightning
Heat Energy
due to the
movement of particles/vibration
e.g : melting ice cream
Light Energy
due to
electromagnetic energy
that travels in transverse waves
e.g . : visible light
Sound Energy
due to
vibration transfer through an object in a wave
e.g : radio waves
Potential Energy
( stored energy)
Elastic Energy
occurs when objects are
compressed and stretched (deformed)
e.g: archery
Nuclear Energy
stored within the
atomic nucleus
e.g : nuclear fission in the earth's core
Chemical Energy
stored in the
bonds of atoms and molecules
e.g : foods we eat
Gravitational Energy
stored in an object's height
e.g : standing up
energy is
ability/capacity needed to carry out the activities of life
