What are the types of energy?

Answer 1

Energy comes in two basic types:kinetic energy (moving energy) and potential energy (stored energy). Each of these can be subdivided, for example:

Kinetic energy includes:

- motion (for example, a moving car)

- thermal energy (the motion of molecules)

- vibrational energy (such as a vibrating washing machine)

- sound energy (vibration of molecules of a medium, such as air)

Potential energy includes:

- gravitational energy (for example, when an object is raised above the surface of the ground, it gains gravitational energy)

- electrostatic energy (for example, when two charged particles are brought close together, they gain electrostatic energy)

- chemical energy (for example, that stored in petrol, which is released when it is burned)

Another way to look at the types of energy are: -Mechanical energy -Gravitational energy -Thermal energy -Electromagnetic energy -Nuclear energy -Chemical energy A link can be found below to check facts and gather more information.

Potential and kinetic. Picture a large clock's swinging pendulum... At its peak, it is all potential energy. At it's lowest and fastest point, it's all kinetic. Anywhere in between, it's some of one and some of the other. As it falls one way, it gains kinetic energy and loses potential until it begins to rise again, when it loses kinetic and gains potential.
The six main types of energy are:

1: chemical

2: electromagnetic/radiant/light (they all mean the same; see acronym GXUVIMR)

3: thermal

4: nuclear

5: mechanical

6: electrical

potential and kinetic energy

potential energy is stored energy.

Kinetic energy is the energy of motion.

Chemical Energy and Nuclear Energy are examples of potential energy.

Electricity and Light are examples of kinetic energy.

tidal energy(wave energy),hydro energy,wind energy ,solar energy,electric energy etc
Cemical energy is cool

there are nine types of energy:

light, heat, kinetic, electric, gravitational, nuclear, sound, chemical and elastic/strain
The 4 major types of energy are

• Heat
• Light
• Sound
• Electricity

sound,mechanical,gravitational,hydroelectric,thermal,and chemical.hope that helped!!
Mechanical energy Chemically stored energy Nuclear energy Solar energy Can't think of anymore. Sorry.
Please clarify. Do you mean potential and kinetic? Or wind, coal, nuclear, etc??
The 2 types of energy are potential energy and kinetic energy. Potential energy is energy that is stored and waiting to be used later. Kinetic energy is the energy an object has due to its motion.
All types of energy is just two types of energy potential and kinetic energy.
The 7 types of energy are:

• Thermal
• Nuclear
• Chemical
• Potential
• Radiant
• Electrical
• Kinetic

Answer 2

The two major types of energy are kinetic and potential energy.
