Forms of Energy • Electrical • Radiation/Electromagnetic • Nuclear • Sound • Gravitational • Mechanical • Thermal • Chemical Energy can be transferred, or converted, from one form to another!
Mechanical Energy • Energy stored in the tension of an object. • Chewing • Gears in a machine • Tension in a rubber band
Thermal Energy • Total energy of the atoms or particles in a substance or material. • All objects give off thermal energy • Ice cream melting gains thermal energy • All atoms are moving at all times.
Chemical Energy • Potential energy stored in chemical bonds. • Food • Fire Cracker • Stomach • Battery
Electrical Energy • Moving electrical charges in some matter that produce electricity. • Static Shock • Lightening • Computers/TVs/Radios • Lights
Radiation Energy • Energy that travels in waves through empty space and through matter. • Visible light • UV Rays • Microwaves
SOUND • Travels in waves • Needs matter to travel through • Does not travel through space
Nuclear Power • Energy stored in the nucleus of an atom from fission or fusion • Sun • Stars • Nuclear Power Plant
Gravitational Energy • Energy due to position of an object • Released as the object falls
