The traditional definitions are kinetic energy (due to motion) and potential energy (due to the relative location within a gravity field).There is really only one type and it is the sum of the gravitational potential energy and the kinetic energy. Mechanical energy = (Mass)((Gravitational acceleration)(Height)+(1/2)(Velocity)²)
Kinetic, potential, and heat.
Mass times speed squared.
•Kinetic in the firing pin - chemical when it hits the primer- turns back into kinetic(both ways), light, heat, and sound energy - hits the target kinetic, light and sound.
A 60 gram bullet fired from a gun with 3150 joules of kinetic energy has a velocity of 324.04 meters per second or 1,063.12 feet per second. (This is about 725mph).

There are a few energy transformations when a gun is fired. Some of these include potential to kinetic energy, chemical to mechanical energy, and chemical to electromagnetic energy.

Gun powder and kinetic energy
A round is loaded into a gun. The gun is then cocked and then fired.
Although their linear momenta are equal, their potential, kinetic, and heat energies are different. The gun has more heat. Regarding potential energy, it can vary. But if the shot is anywhere near horizontal and the shooter doesn't drop the gun, then the recoiling gun has more gravitational potential energy at any time after the shot. The fired bullet has more kinetic energy.

While it is moving, it has kinetic energy. Before it is shot, it has chemical energy - that's what causes the explosion.
Love's a Loaded Gun was created in 1991.
