6 forms of energy
mechanical
chemical
electrical
nuclear
thermal
radiant
Energy contained in the forces that hold the nucleus of an atom together.
Fission- splitting apart atoms
Fusion-combining of atoms
The potential and kinetic energy of a system.
Energy contained in waves, that are part of the electromagnetic spectrum.
Energy stored in the chemicals bonds of substances.
Energy stored in the changes found on particles in atoms.
Molecular potential and kenetic energy of atoms.

Examples:
the sun- combining atoms to create light.
hydrogen bomb- when creating this you have to split apart atoms.
oven- it creates heat that transfers to the food that cooks the food.
microwave- it creates heat that transfers to the food that cooks the food.
charging cord- stored energy once you plug your phone in the energy transfers to your phone to be stored in your phone.
lightbulb- flow of electrons from the cords to the actual light.
coal- when you burn this it creates energy for the fire
digesting food- digesting food creates energy for our bodies to move and have energy.
light from the sun- this is radiant energy because the light is shining in a beam of light.
lightbulb- this is just like the sun where a beam of light is shining towards us.
a spring- this is an example of elastic potential energy because it bounces back after you pull in and release.
a book on shelf- example of gravitational energy because it is above the ground so if the book falls it is going to have more of an impact than if it was just sitting on the ground.
