Forms of Energy

1. Sound Energy

1.1. sound energy comes from vibrations moving through something. Solids, liquids, and gases all transmit sound as energy waves. Sound energy is the result when a force, either sound or pressure, makes an object or substance vibrate. That energy moves through the substance in waves.

1.1.1. Popping a balloon

1.1.2. An airplane taking off

1.1.3. Time alarm of a microwave

2. Nuclear Energy

2.1. Nuclear power is the use of nuclear reactions to produce electricity. Nuclear power can be obtained from nuclear fission, nuclear decay and nuclear fusion reactions. Presently, the vast majority of electricity from nuclear power is produced by nuclear fission of uranium and plutonium in nuclear power plants.

2.1.1. The sun

2.1.2. Food treatments

2.1.3. Nuclear medicine

3. Biomass Energy

3.1. Biomass is renewable organic material that comes from plants and animals. Biomass contains stored chemical energy from the sun that is produced by plants through photosynthesis.

3.1.1. Wood

3.1.2. Crops

3.1.3. manure

4. Chemical Potential Energy

4.1. Chemical potential energy is the energy stored in the chemical bonds of a substance. The various chemicals that make up gasoline contain a large amount of chemical potential energy that is released when the gasoline is burned in a controlled way in the engine of the car.

4.1.1. Batteries

4.1.2. Natural gas

4.1.3. Coal

5. Light Energy

5.1. Light energy is a kind of kinetic energy with the ability to make types of light visable to human eyes

5.1.1. Stars

5.1.2. Light bulb

5.1.3. Lasers

6. Heat Energy

6.1. Heat energy is the transfer of thermal energy from one physical system to another system or from one region in a physical system to another region.

6.1.1. Warmth of the sun

6.1.2. Heat out of a heater

6.1.3. Baking in an oven

7. Eletrical Energy

7.1. Electrical energy is a specific form of energy that is the result of an electric charge. The force exerted on an object is based on either an electrical attraction or electrical repulsion between charged particles.

7.1.1. A battery

7.1.2. Wind turbins

7.1.3. a defibrillator

8. Elastic Potential Energy

8.1. Elastic potential energy is energy stored as a result of applying a force to deform an elastic object. The energy is stored until the force is removed and the object springs back to its original shape, doing work in the process.

8.1.1. A bow and arrow

8.1.2. Coiled springs

8.1.3. Elastic bands

9. Gravitational Potential Energy

9.1. Gravitational potential energy is the energy possessed or acquired by an object due to a change in its position when it is present in a gravitational field.

9.1.1. a raised weight

9.1.2. Water that is behind a dam

9.1.3. River water at the top of a waterfall
