Kinetic Energy (KE)
Kinetic energy (KE) is the energy of a moving object because of its motion. The kinetic energy of a moving object depends on the object’s speed and its mass.

Non-mechanical energy
-
Thermal
Thermal energy is a type of power produced by atomic and molecular particle movement within a substance.
nuclear
Nuclear Energy is the energy stored in the particles inside an atomic nucleus . Large amounts of energy can be released when the nuclei are combined or split apart.

Potential energy(PE)
Definition
Potential energy (PE) is the stored energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position relative to others, stresses within itself, and other factors.
-
Elastic PE
-
Definition
Elastic potential energy (EPE) is potential energy stored as a result of deformation of an elastic object, such as the stretching of a spring.

-
spring constant- how much a spring resist displacement = how much force needed to compress or expand per metre square
-
Gravitational PE
-
definition
Gravitational potential energy (GPE) is the energy of an object due to its position above Earth’s surface. It is compared to a Reference Point (base level).
