Energy Types
Energy due to the position of an object above Earth's surface. The object has the potential to fall due to gravity.
Gravitational Potential Energy
Energy that is stored when an object is compressed or stretched.
Elastic Potential Energy (EPE)
Energy stored in bonds between the atoms that make up matter. ____ is released during a chemical reaction.
Potential energy plus kinetic energy. It is all the energy that an object has because of its motion (kinetic energy) and its position (potential energy).
The energy that comes from the movement of electric charges (electrons and protons).
Chemical Potential Energy (CPE)
Mechanical Energy
Electrical Energy
The energy carried by electromagnetic waves.
The energy in an object or system due to the movement of its molecules and atoms.
Type of energy made by vibrations. This movement is called sound waves.
Radiant Energy
Thermal Energy
Sound Energy
