Forms of Energy

Front

What is Mechanical Energy?

Back

Mechanical energy is the sum of potential energy and kinetic energy in an object. It is the energy associated with the motion and position of an object.

Front

What is Sound Energy?

Back

Sound energy is a form of energy that is associated with the vibration of matter. It is produced when an object vibrates, creating pressure waves in a medium such as air.

Front

What is Nuclear Energy?

Back

Nuclear energy is the energy released during nuclear fission or fusion, especially when used to generate electricity. It comes from the nucleus of atoms.

Front

What is Electrical Energy?

Back

Electrical energy is the energy caused by the movement of electrons. It is commonly used to power devices and appliances.

Front

What is Chemical Energy?

Back

Chemical energy is the energy stored in the bonds of chemical compounds, like atoms and molecules. It is released or absorbed during a chemical reaction.

Front

What is Thermal Energy?

Back

Thermal energy is the internal energy of an object due to the kinetic energy of its atoms and molecules. It is often associated with heat.

Front

What is Electromagnetic Energy?

Back

Electromagnetic energy is a form of energy that travels through space as waves, including visible light, radio waves, and X-rays.

Front

What is Kinetic Energy?

Back

Kinetic energy is the energy of an object in motion. It depends on the mass and velocity of the object.

Front

What is Potential Energy?

Back

Potential energy is the stored energy of an object due to its position or state. It has the potential to be converted into kinetic energy.

Front

What is the Law of Conservation of Energy?

Back

The Law of Conservation of Energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another.
