Definition- Stored in an object, the ability to move something.
Different kinds of energy:
1-Light energy ( The energy of the electromagnetic waves. Found in microwaves, x-rays and visible lights.)
Example: Burning candle and light bulb.
2-Heat energy ( Caused by movement of particles. Found in all hot objects.)
Example: The sun and stovetop.
3-Sound energy ( Energy produced by vibrating objects, Examples are speech, ultrasound and music.)
Example: Balloon Popping and airplane taking off.
4-Chemical potential energy ( Energy stored in the bonds between particles. Found in substance like petrol and food.)
Example: Gasoline and batteries.
5-Electrical energy ( The movement of electrically charge particles. Found in wires, generators and lighting.)
Example:Lightning and batteries.
6-Gravitational Potential energy ( Energy stored in objects due to their height above the ground.)
Example: Water that is behind a dam and a raised weight.
7-Kinetic energy ( Energy due to the motion of an object. Eg, moving cars, running, swimming.)
Example:Bullet from gun and Roller Coasters.
8-Elastic Potential energy ( Energy stored in stretched or squashed objects. Examples are springs and rubber bands.)
Example: A bent diving board before the diver jumps and an archers stretched bow.
