Question
Type of Energy Description Examples
Mechanical Energy ______ ______
Radiant Energy ______ ______
Sound Energy ______ ______
Chemical Energy ______ ______
Electrical Energy ______ ______
Nuclear Energy ______ ______
Thermal Energy ______ ______
Descriptions
A. The energy stored within the matter itself that can be classified as a form of potential energy.
B. The energy stored in the chemical bonds of substances. Reactions store or release chemical energy.
C. Light energy that can be categorized as a form of kinetic energy. It includes all electromagnetic waves. It can travel through empty space, air, or even solid substances.
D. The energy of motion or the ability to do motion that can be categorized into the forms of potential and kinetic energy.
E. The energy of vibrating particles that produces sound that can be categorized as kinetic energy. It requires a medium (air, water or solids) in order to travel.
F. The flow of charged particles through a conductor that can be categorized as kinetic energy or potential energy.
G. The energy related to the temperature of a substance. Thermal energy is a result of tiny particles of matter that move (kinetic). All matter has thermal energy, and although we cannot see the motion, we can feel or see its effects.
Examples
H. Light bulbs, burning candles, the light from the sun
J. Food, fossil fuels (petroleum, coal, natural gas), plants, batteries
K. A runaway skateboard, pedaling a bicycle, chewing food, water rushing through a dam
L. Electrical power generators, static (the type that makes your hair stand on end)
M. A fire, a hot stove, and a pizza just removed from the oven
N. Atomic bomb, nuclear power plants (break the bonds of uranium to create electricity and heat) fusion in stars
P. Your voice, whistles, whale calls, the rattle of a train passing on a track
