Some of the forms which energy can have, are:

- Thermal energy

- Kinetic energy

- Potential energy

- Electric potential energy

- Radiation

Some examples of transformations between different forms of energy, are:

- Potential energy to kinetic energy during the course of a roller coaster.

- Kinetic energy to thermal energy when an object decelerates due to friction while sliding on a surface.

-Kinetic energy to thermal energy when a meteor melts upon entering the atmosphere due to friction.

- Kinetic energy to electric potential energy in a generator.

- Electric potential energy to radiation in a digital screen.

- Electric potential energy to thermal energy in a light bulb.

- Thermal to kinetic energy in a heat engine.

Use these examples to identify energy changing forms around you and write a brief paragraph.
