  1. Types Of Energy Submitted for credit for 6th grade Science Created By; JazemynDuhaney

  2. KineticEnergy In physics, the kinetic energy of an object is the energy that it possesses due to its motion. It is defined as the work needed to accelerate a body of a given mass from rest to its stated velocity. Having gained this energy during its acceleration, the body maintains this kinetic energy unless its speed changes.

  3. Heat ThermalEnergy • Thermalenergy is the energy that is generated and measured by heat. An example of thermalenergy is the kinetic energy of an atom. An example of thermalenergy is the chemical energy in a molecule.

  4. Electric Energy • Electricity is the set of physical phenomena associated with the presence and flow of electric charge. Electricity gives a wide variety of well-known effects, such as lightning, static electricity, electromagnetic induction and electric current. In addition, electricity permits the creation and reception of electromagnetic radiation such as radio waves.

  5. PotentialEnergy In physics, potential energy is the energy that an object has due to its position in a force field or that a system has due to the configuration of its parts.

  6. Chemical Energy • In chemistry, chemical energy is the potential of a chemical substance to undergo a transformation through a chemical reaction to transform other chemical substances. Examples include batteries, food, gasoline, and more. Breaking or making of chemical bonds involves energy, which may be either absorbed or evolved from a chemical system.

  7. Nuclear Energy • Nuclear power is the use of nuclear reactions that release nuclear energy to generate heat, which most frequently is then used in steam turbines to produce electricity in a nuclear power plant. The term includes nuclear fission, nuclear decay and nuclear fusion.

  8. GravitationalEnergy • Gravitationalenergy is the movement of an object or mass that is caused by the pull of gravity

  9. MechanicalEnergy • Mechanicalenergy is the energy that is possessed by an object due to its motion or due to its position. Mechanicalenergy can be either kinetic energy (energy of motion) or potential energy (stored energy of position).

  10. SeismicEnergy • "Seismic activity" is defined as the vibration of the ground due to the release of elastic energy from the breakage of rock within the earth or an explosion. The phenomenon is commonly referred to as an earthquake, but while seismic waves can be either body waves or surface waves, an earthquake radiates seismicenergy as both types of waves.

  11. SolarEnergy • Solar energy can be broken down into two categories; solar electric and solar thermal. Solar electric consists of photovoltaics (PV) and concentrated solar power (CSP) that produces electricity. Solar thermaltechnologies capture the sun's thermal energy for water or space heating.

  12. Radiant Energy • Radiant energy is the energy of electromagnetic waves. The term is most commonly used in the fields of radiometry, solar energy, heating and lighting, but is also used less frequently in other fields (such as telecommunications).
