1 Six Forms of Energy

2 1.Mechanical Energy: energy due to an object’s motion or position. Examples: moving object, stationary (still) object

3 2.Thermal Energy: the total energy of atoms in an object. Examples: relates to temperature of an object

4 3.Chemical Energy: the potential energy stored in chemical bonds that hold atoms together. Examples: food, matches, cells

5 4.Electrical Energy: the energy produced by moving electric charges. Examples: electricity (batteries, power lines)

6 5.Electromagnetic Energy: the energy that travels in waves. Examples: visible light, UV radiation, microwaves

7 6. Nuclear Energy: the energy stored in the nucleus of an atom. Examples: fusion (the Sun), fission (nuclear power plants)
