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 Energy Transformation #1
