Six Forms of Energy

1. Mechanical Energy: energy due to an object’s motion or position.

Examples: moving object, stationary (still) object

2. Thermal Energy: the total energy of atoms in an object.

Examples: relates to temperature of an object

Absolute Zero (0 Kelvin = -459.6° F) is the coldest temperature (atoms stop moving)!

3. Chemical Energy: the potential energy stored in chemical bonds that hold atoms together.

Examples: food, matches, cells

4. Electrical Energy: the energy produced by moving electric charges.

Examples: electricity (batteries, power lines)

5. Electromagnetic Energy: the energy that travels in waves.

Examples: visible light, UV radiation, microwaves

6. Nuclear Energy: the energy stored in the nucleus of an atom.

Examples: fusion (the Sun), fission (nuclear power plants)

What form of energy is the human using to jump?

Energy conservation- a change from one form of energy to another.

Law of conservation of energy- when one form of energy is converted to another, no energy is destroyed in the process
