Yes, energy can change forms.

In a blender, electrical energy transforms into mechanical and sound energy.

An example is a toaster, where electrical energy is transformed into thermal energy to toast bread.

An example is a light bulb, where thermal energy is transformed into light energy.

In a closed system, energy is conserved and can only change forms.

Sound energy is the energy produced by vibrating sound waves.

Mechanical energy is the energy associated with the motion and position of an object.
