Question

What are some types of energy?

Answer 1

Solar powered, chemical, nuclear, gravitational, mechanical, etc.

Explanation:

Energy comes in two basic forms: Potential and Kinetic

Potential Energy=any type of stored energy; can be chemical, nuclear, gravitational, elastic, or mechanical.

Forms of Potential Energy:
-elastic
-gravitational
-nuclear
-chemical
-mechanical

Kinetic Energy=found in movement; even the tiniest things have kinetic energy, like atoms vibrating when they are hot or when they transmit sound waves. Electricity kinetic energy of flowing electrons between atoms.

Example: An airplane flying or a meteor plummeting both have kinetic energy.

Forms of Kinetic Energy:
-electromagnetic radiation
-thermal energy/ temperature
-electric
-sound
-motion
