Stored energy ready for use. Examples: chemical energy in food, a drawn bow. Higher position or mass increases potential energy, such as a ball held at a height.
Energy of moving objects, like a speeding car or flowing water. This energy can cause changes, like toppling objects. Wind and water kinetic energy are used for electricity.
Visible energy traveling in waves as photons. Emitted by stars, bulbs, and hot objects. Solar energy powers photosynthesis and electricity generation.
Heat Energy
Thermal energy from heated substances. Faster particle movement releases heat. Examples: sun warmth, ovens, heaters.
Caused by moving electrical charges (electrons). Sources: solar, wind, nuclear energy. Examples: batteries, generators, lightning.
