This type of energy is the energy of motion or movement.
potential energy
kinetic energy
mechanical energy
chemical energy
This type of energy is the energy that is stored in an object for later use or due to its position (height/stretched/compressed).
potential energy
kinetic energy
mechanical energy
chemical energy
This type of energy is the potential energy that is stored in an object and becomes usable as its molecules are broken down.
potential energy
kinetic energy
mechanical energy
chemical energy
This type of energy is an object's potential energy + kinetic energy, and allows it to move another object.
potential energy
kinetic energy
