Other Forms of Energy
Chemical Energy
Definition: The energy that is stored in the bonds of atoms and molecules.
Examples: Batteries, biomass, petroleum (oil), natural gas, and coal
Electrical Energy
Definition: Electricity is delivered by tin charges particles called electrons, typically moving through a wire.
Example: Lightning, capacitor(stores electrical energy)
Nuclear Energy
Definition: The energy stored in particles inside an atomic nucleus, a large amount of energy can be released when the nuclei are combined or split apart.
Potential Energy(PE)
Definition: The stored energy that depends upon the relative position of various parts of a system.
SI Units: Joules(J)
Formulae: Mass x Gravitational Acceleration x Height
Kinetic Energy (KE)
Definition: The form of energy that an object or a particle has by reason of its motion. I
SI Units: Joules (J)
Formulae: (1/2) x mass x velocity
-
Work
Definition: The transfer of energy from one form to another by a force that acts on it
SI Units: Joules(J)
Multiple: Scalar
