The energy possessed by a body as a result of its position or condition rather than its motion
|
|
|
Kinetic Energy |
The energy that it possesses due to its motion
|
|
|
Gravitational Potential Energy |
Energy an object possesses because of its position in a gravitational field
|
|
|
Elastic Potential Energy |
Potential energy stored as a result of deformation of an elastic object
|
|
|
Mechanical Energy |
Energy associated with the motion and position of an object
|
|
|
Chemical Energy |
Energy stored in the bonds of chemical compounds
|
|
|

Energy newly derived from electric potential energy or kinetic energy.
|
|
|
Electromagnetic Energy |
Energy that is reflected or emitted from objects in the form of electrical and magnetic waves
|
|
|
Nuclear Energy |
Energy released during nuclear fission or fusion
|
|
|
Thermal Energy |
Internal energy of an object due to the kinetic energy of its atoms and/or molecules
|
|
|
Heat |
Form of energy associated with the movement of atoms and molecules in any material
|
|
|
Temperature |
A measure of the warmth or coldness of an object or substance with reference to some standard value |
|
|
Convection |
The circular motion that happens when warmer air or liquid — which has faster moving molecules, making it less dense — rises, while the cooler air or liquid drops down
|
|
|
Convection Current |
When cooler air comes into contact with convection, the air warms and rises, creating an upward current in the atmosphere
|
|
|
Conduction |
Energy is transferred by the movement of electrons or ions
