Energy Transformations“Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only
transformed!”
Types of Energy▷ Kinetic - energy of motion▷ Potential - stored energy due to an object’s position (aka
gravitational energy)▷ Chemical - energy stored in bonds between atoms and
molecules▷ Electrical - energy of electrons flowing through a substance▷ Thermal - internal energy of a substance due to its particles
vibrating (aka heat energy)▷ Light - travels in waves (aka electromagnetic or radiant
energy)▷ Nuclear - energy that holds an atom together▷ Sound - energy that moves through a substance by
compression waves
