Forms of energy
Gravitational Potential energy: Is energy that is stored because of an object's position or height above Earth's surface.
-
Elastic Potential energy: Is the energy accumulated as a consequence of the deformation of an elastic body.
-
Mechanical energy: It is all the energy that an object has because of its motion and its position. All living things and all machines use mechanical energy to do work.
-
Potential energy: Is releated to the position of a body. It has two different forms: elastic energy and gravitional potentional energy.
-
Kinetic energy: Is the energy associated with the a body in motion. The larger the mass and the greater the velocity of a body the more kinetic energy it produces.
-
Chemical energy: Is stored in matter and the released when the matter changes its composition. Some examples are when fuel is burned or when cells process nutrients.
-
-
Sound energy: Is the energy transportedin sound waves. Unlike light, sound energy needs matter to be transported.
-
Nuclear energy: In contained in the particles that make up matter, especially certain ellements like uranium and plutonium, A small number of these chemicals elements can produce a lot of energy, but using them requieres advenced technology.
-
Solar energy: Is light, heat, and other forms of energy given off by the Sun. Solar energy can be collected and used to heat buildings and to make electricity.
-
Wind energy:Wind power is an alternative energy source. This means that the power of the wind can be used in place of other energy sources such as coal, oil, and nuclear reactions. Wind can be used to produce electricity that heats homes and lights streets and buildings. Wind power is harnessed by a machine called a wind turbine.
-
Hydraulic energy: Hydropower is power that is generated from moving water such as rivers. Renewable Energy. Hydropower is a renewable energy source.
-
Geothermal energy:Geothermal energy is heat that comes from inside Earth. It is an alternative energy source that can be used for cooking, bathing, and heating. It can also be converted into electricity.
-
Thermal energy: Is produced when a rise in temperature causes atoms and molecules to move faster and collide with each other. The energy that comes from the temperature of the heated substance is called thermal energy.
-
Radiant energy: Includes light, radio waves, ultraviolet and infrared rays, as well as other form of radiation. They can travel through space- that is, they do not need matter to transport them.
