motion
chemical energy | Chemical energy is stored in the bonds of atoms and molecules – it is the energy that holds these particles together. |
thermal energy | Thermal energy is created from the vibration of atoms and molecules within substances. |
electrical energy | Electrical energy is caused by moving electric charges called electrons. The faster the charges move, the more electrical energy they carry. |
sound energy | Sound energy is the movement of energy through substances. It moves in waves and is produced when a force makes an object or substance vibrate. |
potental energy | Potential energy is defined as mechanical energy, stored energy, or energy caused by its position. |
kinetic energy | The kinetic energy of an object depends on both its mass and velocity, with its velocity playing a much greater role. |
Elastic Energy | Elastic energy is a form of potential energy which is stored in an elastic object - such as a coiled spring or a stretched elastic band |
nuclear energy | Nuclear energy is stored in the nucleus of atoms. This energy is released when the nuclei are combined (fusion) or split apart (fission). |
radiant energy | The term is most commonly used in the fields of radiometry, solar energy |
light energy | Light energy is a form of electromagnetic radiation. Light consists of photons, which are produced when an object's atoms heat up. |
motion energy | Motion energy – or mechanical energy – is the energy stored in objects; as objects move faster, |
gravintational energy | Gravitational energy is a form of potential energy. It is energy associated with gravity or gravitational force – in other words, |
