Forms of Energy

Forms of Energy All energy falls into two categories: • Potential: stored energy and energy of position • Kinetic: motion of waves, electrons, atoms, molecules and substances.

What Forms of Energy Are There? POTENTIAL Chemical Energy Nuclear Energy Gravitational Energy KINETIC Radiant Energy Electrical Energy Mechanical Sound Thermal Energy

How will we ever remember these? ! Just remember the sentence: Cam Newton got really excited making stinky tacos.

Cam= Chemical Newton= Nuclear Got= Gravitational Really= Radiant Excited= Electrical Making= Mechanical Stinky= Sound Tacos= Thermal

1. Cam=Chemical • Energy stored in the bonds of atoms and molecules. Example: Matches, Digestion, batteries

2. Newton= Nuclear • Energy stored in the nucleus of an atom. The energy that holds the nucleus Example: Breaking together. down Uranium

3. Got= Gravitational • Energy of place or position. Higher=more gravitational Example: two plants energy. at different heights

4. Really= Radiant • Electromagnetic energy that travels in waves like light. Example: Visible Light

5. Excited= Electrical • Movement of electrons. Example: lamp, computer

6. Making= Mechanical Example: Riding a bike • The movement of a substance from one place to another. Motion.

7. Stinky = Sound • Movement of energy through substances in waves. Example: bell

8. Tacos= Thermal • The vibration or movement of atoms and molecules. Heat. Example: stove boiling water
