Write the Pendulum of Potential and Kinetic Energy in your notebook
During energy transfers, forms of energy may also be transformed into other forms of energy.
An example:a battery has chemical energy stored inside and can change into electrical energy, that can change into light and heat.
Radiant (Light) Energy • energy transmitted in the form of electromagnetic waves (as heat waves, light waves, radio waves, X-rays)
Electrical energy • is when electricity creates motion, light or heat. An example of electrical energy is the electric coils on your stove
Mechanical Energy • is the energy of motion that does the work. An example of mechanical energy is the wind as it turns a windmill.
Sound Energy • is energy produced by sound vibrations
Thermal Energy • is energy that is pushed into motion by using heat. An example is a fire in your fireplace
Nuclear Energy • the energy released by a nuclear reaction. Fission and fusion
Chemical Energy • is energy caused by chemical reactions.
Gravitational Energy • is motion that is caused by gravity. An example of gravitational energy is water flowing down a waterfall.
