| SI unit of energy | Joule |
| stored energy an object has due to it’s position. | Potential Energy |
| energy stored when an object is compressed or stretched. | Elastic potential energy |
| energy stored in chemical bonds. | Chemical Potential Energy |
| energy stored by objects due to their position above Earth’s surface; depends on the distance above Earth’s surface and the object’s mass. | Gravitational Potential Energy |
| sum of the potential energy and kinetic energy in a system. | Mechanical Energy |
