Forms of Energy

Mechanical energy is

• rays that are visible

• stored energy

• moving parts or motions

• electrons moving through a circuit

electrical energy is

• stored energy

• energy that cannot be destroyed

• a transfer of heat

• electrons moving in a circuit

Light (radiant) energy is

• rays that are visible

• a transfer of heat

• energy that an object has due to motion

• air vibrations that we can hear

Thermal energy is

• rays that are visible

• stored energy

• a transfer of heat

• moving parts or motions

Sound energy is

• stored energy

• energy stored in the nucleus of an atom

• energy stored in chemical bonds

• air vibrations that we can hear

Chemical energy is

• rays that are visible

• a transfer of heat

• energy stored in chemical bonds

• electrons moving in a circuit

Nuclear energy is

• stored energy

• energy that an object has due to motion

• energy stored in the nucleus of an atom

• moving parts or motions

Potential energy

• stored energy

• energy that is in motion

• transfer of heat

• rays that are visible

Kinetic energy is

• rays that are visible

• stored energy

• energy that an object has due to motion

• electrons moving in a circuit

Law of Conservation of Energy is defined as

• energy that is in motion

• energy cannot be destroyed or created

• moving parts

• electrons moving in a circuit
