Forms of Energy View examples of the different types of potential and kinetic energy. |
|
  |  |  |  | Energy that an object has due to its position in a gravitational field. Examples include an apple on a tree, a cyclist at the top of a hill, and a book on your desk. | |  |  | Energy of motion that is attributed to a specific object. Examples include waterfalls, a car moving down the street, and a ball flying through the air. | |  |  | Energy stored in the bending, stretching, or twisting of an object. Examples include a bent bow, wound spring, or stretched elastic. | |  |  | Total energy within a substance, measured in units of heat and temperature. Examples include ice melting and water boiling. | |  |  | Energy stored within the chemical bonds of a substance. Examples include the food we eat, gasoline, and a candle. | |  |  | Energy associated with the movement of charges. Examples include lightning and a lit light bulb. | |  |  | Energy stored in subatomic matter. An example includes the uranium rods found in power plants. | |  |  | Energy that is transmitted through the compression of matter. Examples include hearing music from a radio and hearing thunder. | |  |  | Energy stored within magnetic fields that can be seen in the attraction or repulsion of objects. Examples include magnets on your refrigerator and the needle on a compass. | |  |  | Energy that travels in waves and can travel in a vacuum. Examples include visible light, a rainbow, and radio waves. | |  |  | Energy that an object has due to its position in an electric field. Examples include clothes sticking together when they come out of the dryer or your hair sticking up after taking off a wool hat. | |
