Different forms of energy
Jaece E. Lopez Grade 9 Opal
1.) Nuclear energy- Typically brings about images of atom
bombs and nuclear power plants. It occurs when atoms
fuse (fusion) or split (fission). Nuclear energy delivers
more uses than providing carbon-free electricity.
2.) Mechanical energy- Is the energy associated with the
mechanical movement objects.
3.) Radiant energy- The sun is a source of nuclear energy
and light energy, but it’s also a great source of radiant
energy.
4.) Gravitational energy- Is the force that keeps us on the
ground. Large objects such as the Earth and Sun create
gravity and gravitational energy.
5.) Sound energy- The energy produces by sound is called
sound energy. Sound energy is an easy one because you
hear it when vibrations create sound energy, it goes to
your ear and is translated by your brain.
6.) Electromagnetic energy- It carries the light energy on
electromagnetic waves that makes electromagnetic
energy one of the only types of energy.
7.) Geothermal energy- By means of the energy found
under the earth’s surface in the form of heat, electrical
of thermal energy is produced.
8.) Chemical energy- Is the energy of chemical substances
that is released when the substances undergo a
chemical reaction and transform into other substances.
9.) Elastic energy- Is the mechanical potential energy stored
in the configuration of a material or physical system as it
is subjected to elastic deformation by work performed
upon it.
