-Energy Is The Ability To Do Work-
Energy comes into different forms but they can all be placed in two different categories. These categories are "potential" which means stored energy and energy of position and "kinetic" which is the energy of motion.
POTENTIAL ENERGY Stored energy and the energy of position
CHEMICAL ENERGY Energy in the bonds of atoms and molecules
MECHANICAL ENERGY Energy stored in objects by tension
NUCLEAR ENERGY Energy stored in the nucleus of an atom
GRAVITATIONAL Energy that is stored in an object's height
ELECTRICAL ENERGY Delivered by tiny charged particles called electrons
KINETIC ENERY The energy of motion
THERMAL ENERGY The vibration and movement of atoms and molecules in substances.
RADIANT ENERGY Electromagnetic energy that travels in waves
