What is energy? Energy is the ability to do work there are many different forms of energy such as kinetic electrical sound heat and light
Types of energy Kinetic,gravitational,elastic,chemical,nuclear,electrical,heat,light,sound
Conduction When heat is transferred by a substance flowing from a warmer area to a cooler area through direct contact between two solid object
Convection When heat is transferred by a substance flowing from a warmer area to a cooler area in liquids or gases
Gravitational energy potential energy of an object elevated above the ground
Elastic energy Energy stored by an elastic object that is stretched such as a spring or rubber band
Chemical energy Energy stored in chemicals that when created together such as burning reactions release heat sound or light
Nuclear energy Energy stored in the nucleus of atoms that can release energy slowly such as in a nuclear reactor or quickly such as in a nuclear explosion.
Electrical energy Energy supplied to homes by powerlines and available to your appliances via power outlets in the home
Kinetic energy Energy possessed by objects that are moving
Heat energy Energy that causes objects to gain temperature
Light energy Energy that may be released, eg when an object is hot or dry a nuclear reaction in a star
Sound energy Energy carried by the air in a room and detected by the ear
Potential energy Stored energy that, when released, is converted to other forms such as kinetic, sound, heat, or light energy
radiation The transfer of heat from electromagnetic waves
how can energy be transformed Energy transformation occurs when energy is changed from one form to a different
Potential energy Stored energy that, when released, is converted to other forms such as kinetic, sound, heat, or light energy
Useful energy Is the intended product of an energy transformation
four types of kinetic energy Heat,Sound,Electrical,Light
Wasted energy Any unwanted energy forms that are produced in a energy transformation and it is lost
