Kinetic energy

Radiant Energy

This energy is electromagneticand travels in transversewaves.

Example:

Radio Waves

Sunshine

Gamma Rays

X-rays

Thermal Energy

This energy is the vibration and movementof the atoms.

Example:

Earth's Geothermal Energy

Motion Energy

This energy is stored in themovement of objects.

When it happens?

The faster the object travels, more energy it will releae

Sound

This energy is movement of energythrough substances in longitudinalwaves.

How it happens?

Sound is produced when a force causes an object to vibrate

Electrical Energy

This energy is delivered by tiny chargedparticles called electrons, typically movingthrough a wire.

Example:

Lightning

Potential Energy

Chemical Energy

This energy is stored in the bondsof atoms and molecules.

Example:

Batteries

Bimass

Coal

Natural Gas

Petroleum

Mechanical Energy

This energy is stored in objects bytension.

Example:

Compressed Springs

Stretched Rubber Bands

Nuclear Energy

This energy is stored in the nucleus of anatom. It is what holds the nucleustogether.

This energy is used in the process offusion and fission.

Fusion - The sun combines thenuclei of hydrogen atoms.

Fission - The nuclei of uraniumatoms are split.

Gravitational Energy

This energy is stored in anobject's height.

Example:

Gravitational pull a person feels when riding a bike down the hill
