Forms of Energy 1. All energy falls into two categories: • Potential: stored energy and energy of position • Kinetic: motion of waves, electrons, atoms, molecules and substances.
How will we ever remember these?! Just remember the sentence: Cam Newton got really excited making stinky tacos.
Cam= Chemical Newton= Nuclear Got= Gravitational Really= Radiant Excited= Electrical Making= Mechanical Stinky= Sound Tacos= Thermal
1. Cam=Chemical Example: Matches, Digestion, batteries • Energy stored in the bonds of atoms and molecules.
2. Newton= Nuclear • Energy stored in the nucleus of an atom. The energy that holds the nucleus together. Example: Breaking down Uranium
3. Got= Gravitational • Energy of place or position. Higher=more gravitational energy. Example: two plants at different heights
4. Really= Radiant Example: Visible Light • Electromagnetic energy that travels in waves like light.
5. Excited= Electrical • Movement of electrons. Example: lamp, computer
6. Making= Mechanical • The movement of a substance from one place to another. Motion. Example: Riding a bike
7. Stinky = Sound • Movement of energy throughsubstances in waves. Example: bell
8. Tacos= Thermal • The vibration or movement of atoms and molecules. Heat. Example: stove boiling water
