Question | Answer |
---|---|
Potential | Stored energy and the energy of a position (gravitational) |
Kinetic | The motion of waves, electrons, atoms, molecules, and substances |
Energy stored in the bonds between atoms Example:gasoline or food | Chemical Energy |
Energy stored in the nucleus of an atom Example:plutonium atom | Nuclear Energy |
Energy stored in objects by the application of force Examples:stretched out rubber bands | Elastic Energy |
Energy of a place or position Example:top of a slide | Gravitational Potential Energy |
Electromagnetic energy that travels in transverse waves Example:light or x-ray | Radiant Energy |
Heat or internal energy of a substance Example:heat from a fire | Thermal Energy |
Movement of a substance from one place to another Example:moving water or wind | Mechanical Energy |
Movement of energy through substances in longitudinal waves Example:echoes or music | Sound Energy |
