IS2T2 Evaluation #1 Types of Energy

The potential energy of a physical object due to its elevation or distance from Earth's surface.

• Elastic Energy

• Gravitational Energy

• Mechanical Energy

• Kinetic Energy

The kinetic energy of moving electrons, which are the negatively-charged particles in atoms. This is characterized by the flow of electrons.

• Thermal Energy

• Elastic Energy

• Nuclear energy

• Electrical energy

Energy characterized by the field created by the presence of poles. This field can be detected by a compass.

• Kinetic Energy

• Gravitational Energy

• Chemical Energy

• Magnetic Energy

A frequent energy seen in combustion, and is a type of wave motion.

• Chemical Energy

• Nuclear Energy

• Magnetic Energy

• Light Energy

The ability to do work or cause motion or change.

• Energy

• Gravitational Energy

• Chemical Energy

• Sound Energy

This type of energy is proportional to how many times an object spins per second as well as the objects mass, size, and shape.

• Mechanical Energy

• Chemical Energy

• Rotational Energy

• Potential Energy

Energy that can be stored mechanically in a compressed gas or liquid, a coiled spring, or a rubber band.

• Sound Energy

• Kinetic Energy

• Elastic Energy

• Nuclear Energy

The stored potential energy in the nucleus of an atom.
