Hannah's energy - Coggle Diagram

- - - - When we turn on a light bulb, electrical energy will change into light energy and heat energy.
- - - - The greater the mass of a moving object, the more kinetic energy it has.
    - - The faster the object moves, the more kinetic energy it has.
- - - - Potential energy is the energy stored in an object due to its position or its condition.
        
        When we raise a ball to a height (position), it has potential energy.
    - - Elastic potential energy
        
        . Elastic potential energy is energy stored in elastic objects that can be stretched, compressed, twisted or bent.
        
        The energy is stored until the force is removed and the object springs back to its original shape, doing work in the process when the elastic potential energy converts into kinetic energy.
        
        When the rubber band of a catapult (or a slingshot) is stretched, it has elastic potential energy. This stored energy can then be used to make a rock move in the air (to do work).
        
        The more the elastic object is compressed or stretched, the greater the amount of elastic potential energy is stored.
      - Chemical potential energy
        
        Chemical potential energy is energy stored in food, fuels or battery.
        
        The chemical potential energy can be released through various processes.The stored energy is then transformed into other forms of energy to do work.
        
        When we carry out respiration, the chemical potential energy in food is released for us to do work.
      - Gravitational potential energy
        
        On Earth, the gravitational force acts on all objects.
        
        Whenever the objects move away from the Earth's surface, they have the energy to fall back to the ground when the gravitational force pulls them downwards.
        
        Gravitational potential energy is the energy possessed by an object due to its position from the ground.
        
        Two factors affecting the amount of gravitational potential energy in an object:
        
        The mass of the object
        
        As the mass of an object increases, the amount of gravitational potential energy possessed by the object increases when it is raised to a height.
        
        The height of the object
        
        As the height of an object increases, the amount of gravitational potential energy possessed by the object increases.
