Forms of energy
By:Michael Brooks
Kinetic energy
Kinetic energy is the energy of movement
1. Running
2. Sliding down a water slide
Gravitational potential energy
Gravitational potential energy is energy an object possesses because of its position in a gravitational field. The most common use of gravitational potential energy is for an object near the surface of the Earth where the gravitationalacceleration can be assumed to be constant at about 9.8 m/s2.
Sound energy
Sound energy is a form of energy associated with the vibration or disturbance of matter.
Heat energy
Comes from sun,flames,chemical reactions and light
1. Fire
2. Sun
Nuclear energy
Energy released in a fusion
Chemical energy
Energy stored in substances
Electrical energy
Comes from power stations,solar cells,batteries and electrical energy comes from that
Elastic potential energy
Stored in a stretched or squashed spring
Light energy
Comes from sun,light globes and without light the world would be very dark
