Forms of energy-Classwork

Energy that comes from a vibrating source and travels through solids, liquids, and gases. Cannot travel through empty space.

• gravitational energy

• thermal energy

• sound energy

• elastic energy

Energy that comes from vibrating atoms and molecules. All atoms and molecules are always moving and vibrating, except absolute zero. This can be generated from friction.

• nuclear energy

• mechanical energy

• sound energy

• thermal energy

Energy due to position. Based on height and mass
