4. Two Energy Forms Potential Kinetic
Potential energy stored and the energy of position.
Potential means capable of being or becoming or possible.
Kinetic
Kinetic energy is motion, the motion of waves, electrons, atoms, molecules and substances.
Kinetic means
adjective 1.pertaining to motion.2.caused by motion.3.characterized by movement: Running and dancing are kinetic activities.

6. Types of Potential Energy
Chemical
Nuclear
Stored Mechanical
Gravitational

7. Chemical Energy is Potential Energy
Chemical Energy: Stored in the bonds of atoms and molecules.
Examples:
Biomass

8. Chemical Energy Examples Continued
Natural Gas
Petroleum

9. Chemical Energy Examples Continued
Propane
Coal

10. Nuclear Energy is Potential Energy
Nuclear energy is the energy stored in the nucleus of an atom – the energy that holds the nucleus together.
Examples are
Uranium Atom

11. Nuclear Fission – splitting the atom
Fusion – The Sun
is a process in which two nuclei join, forming a larger nucleus and releasing energy.
Nuclear Fission – splitting the atom

12. Stored Mechanical Energy is Potential Energy
Stored Mechanical Energy is energy stored in objects by the application of a force.
Examples are springs and Rubber bands

13. Gravitational Energy is Potential Energy
Gravitational Energy is the energy of Place or position.
Examples are Water behind a Dam, when released it becomes energy of motion.

14. Types of Kinetic Energy (Motion)
Radiant
Thermal
Motion
Sound
Electrical Energy

15. Radiant Energy is Kinetic Energy
Electromagnetic energy that travels in transverse waves. Solar energy, x-rays & gamma rays are examples.

16. Thermal Energy is Kinetic Energy
Thermal energy or heat is the internal energy in substances – the vibration and movement of atoms and molecules within substances.
Geysers are an example.

17. One Benefit of Geothermal Energy

20. Motion is Kinetic Energy
The movement of objects or substances from one place to another. Wind and hydropower are two examples.

21. Sound is Kinetic Energy
Sound is the movement of energy through substances in longitudinal waves.

22. Electrical Energy is Kinetic Energy
Electrical energy is the movement of electrons. Lightning and electricity.
