Anything that moves has kinetic energy, such as cars, runners, bullets. The faster something moves or the more mass it has, the more kinetic energy it has.
Any object that is raised up has gravitational energy. It depends on the strength of gravity, the mass, and the height of the object.

Light Energy
Energy that is released by vibrating objects is sound energy. The larger the vibrations, the more sound energy is released.
Light energy is also known as radiant energy. This can be found in all types of electromagnetic radiation.

Elastic Potential Energy
Thermal energy is also known as heat energy. It is caused by the vibration of the particles in a substance. The hotter something is, the more thermal energy it has.
The energy found in objects that are squashed or stretched. Examples are compressed springs and stretched elastic bands.
