The types of energy
The ability to cause change
Energy
The sum of the potential energy and kinetic energy in a system (PE+KE)
Mechanical
A system is a collection of parts that interact and act together as a whole.
Combining Energy
Stored Energy
Potential Energy and, or GPE
The sum of the kinetic energy and the potential energy of the particles that make up an objects
Thermal
Electrons move in atoms giving it kinetic energy
Electric
The energy that is stored in and released from the bonds between atoms.
Chemical
A disturbance that transfers energy from one place to another without transferring matter.
