|---|---|
| What are the 2 main types of energy? | Potential and Kinetic energy |
| Kinetic energy | Energy an object has due to its motion |
| Potential energy | Energy an object has due to its position |
| Mechanical energy | The total or sum of energy associated with the motion and position of an object |
| Electrical energy | Energy that is made available through the flow of electric current through a conductor |
| Light (radiant) energy | Energy carried by light and other types of electromagnetic radiation |
| Chemical energy | Energy stored in the bonds of chemical compounds that is released during reactions |
| Elastic energy | Energy stored in an object when it is compressed or stretched |
| Nuclear energy | Energy released when atoms split (fission) or join together (fusion) |
| Heat (thermal) energy | Energy that's created by the movement of particles (atoms) that produce heat |
| Sound energy | Energy transferred through a substance (medium) by a longitudinal wave |
| Gravitation energy | Energy of an object due to its high position compared to a low position |
| Conduction | The transfer of heat energy by direct contact |
| Convection | The movement of heat by actual motion of matter |
| Radiation | The transfer of energy with the help of electromagnetic waves |
