Energy Response

• Potential Energy-energy that is stored in an object.

Energy Response

• Kinetic Energy-energy in motion

Energy• There are six types of energy.

-mechanical, thermal, chemical, electrical, electromagnetic, and nuclear

Energy• Mechanical energy deals with motion.

• Thermal energy is created when molecules within matter move so fast that heat is generated.

Energy• Chemical energy is stored in chemical

compounds by chemical bonds

• Electrical energy is used to power all electrical things

Energy• Electromagnetic energy travels in waves.

Examples: radiation, microwaves, radio waves, satellite waves.

• Nuclear energy is stored in atoms and when released during a nuclear reaction, it gives off a great amount of energy.

Energy• Law of Conservation-Energy cannot be

created nor destroyed. Energy can change its form, but the amount of energy will remain the same before and after each transfer.
